Nitrogen gas has been replaced by room air in the extension of multi-phase models to sub-residual saturation experiments on drying. The TOUGH2 code has been used to simulate the same problem with the identical boundary conditions. A constant heat flux boundary condition on the heater has been performed in the repository drift experiment. The desired constant heat flux can produce a steady-state heater temperature ({approx}238{degrees}C) close to the constant heater surface temperature used before. What occurs in the air annulus and in the porous medium with the different thermal boundary conditions and water quantities is reported
