Heat and mass transfer between air and porous materials: a benchmark experiment Universiteit Gent
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) can be used to calculate air flows in and around buildings. By linking CFD with a HAM-model (Heat, Air and Moisture), heat and mass transfer between air and porous materials is incorporated into the calculations. This paper presents experimental data for the validation of these newly developed CFD-HAM models. To conduct the experiments, a climate chamber representing a small room of 1.8 meter high, 1.8 meter ...
