Although we know the physics inside a media where the sound waves propagate, determination of material\'s or structure\'s sound reduction index is not an easy task. The lack of good engineering solutions proves the point. The only reliable way to calculate the sound reduction index is ... Read More
This paper presents the use of the multiphysics package COMSOL for teaching heat and moisture transport modeling in the research area of building physics. It includes a description on how COMSOL works and six exercises with 2D, 3D, steady state and transient models. It is concluded that ... Read More
Double walls provide stability to the structure and separate the controlled indoor climate from the outdoor fluctuating environment. In this study we want to receive more insight in the heat exchange between the walls through the cavity in between, by computer simulations and ... Read More
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a revolutionary technique for joining high-strength materials, offering superior mechanical properties compared to traditional fusion welding methods. However, achieving optimal surface quality in FSW of Inconel 718 is challenging due to the material's ... Read More
A model of an office room was created in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate heat transfer and study the impact of siting a mass of phase change material (PCM) in a room to increase thermal comfort. This study determined that incorporating the selected PCM, butyl stearate, in ... Read More
Calculating time-dependent heat and moisture transports trough building components are important tasks in the area of building physics. A well known and worldwide used commercial software for this is WUFI®. From the scientific point of view the restricted access to governing equations is ... Read More
Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Heat Transfer Module, we calculated coupled heat and moisture transport to simulate the amount and distribution of condensed moisture in a train wall, with a special focus on the surface of thermal bridges. We tested two approaches to ... Read More
Transforming the energy sector worldwide towards renewable, climate-neutral energy sources requires innovative ideas and excellent engineering solutions. In particular, shallow geothermal energy utilization is currently showing a remarkable development. In highly urbanized regions, large ... Read More
In Europe considerable building activity can be expected over the coming decades; Net Zero Energy Buildings refers to a building with minimal power, until maximum 15 kW/m^2. In both cases this requires very well insulated buildings with minimal thermal bridges. Concrete balconies, that ... Read More
The aim of this study is to evaluate the airflow thermal distribution inside a storehouse in different operational conditions. A warehouse of 12,600 m3 in volume is considered for fluid-dynamical and thermal analysis. Coupled Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved considering or ... Read More
