Title: | Steady-state moisture diffusion in curved walls, in the absence of condensate flow, via the BEM: a practical Civil Engineering approach (Glaser method) | Authors: | Tadeu, António Simões, Nuno Branco, Fernando |
Keywords: | Condensation; Temperature; Heat transfer; Vapour pressure; Moisture diffusion; Boundary Element Method | Issue Date: | 2003 | Citation: | Building and Environment. 38:5 (2003) 677-688 | Abstract: | The influence of the curvature radius of curved walls on the condensation patterns across a single panel homogeneous wall is analysed under steady-state conditions. Condensation is defined according to the Glaser approach, which is a practical tool in building design, recommended by the DIN 4108 and prEN ISO 13788 standards. This methodology uses an iterative process, which requires the resolution of temperature equilibrium and several vapour pressure equilibrium problems. Each of these potential problems is solved using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The iterative process is first implemented and validated by applying it to the definition of condensation patterns across a hollow cylinder, for which the solution is calculated analytically. The BEM is then applied to the curved wall models, identifying the zones where condensation occurs and quantifying the amount of liquid water generated. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4003 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0360-1323(02)00208-1 | Rights: | openAccess |
