NUMERICAL MODELING OF THE SIMULTANEOUS HEAT AND MOISTURE TRANSFER

Abstract. An original model for the simultaneous transfer of heat and moisture (water in the forms of ice, liquid and vapour) in porous media has been presented in Daĺık, Svoboda [1]. In this paper, we briefly describe the model and then present its numerical implementation as well as results of numerical simulation of the process in a brick. Key words. simultaneous heat and moisture transport in porous media, non–stationary system of non–linear partial differential equations, numerical modeling in a brick AMS subject classifications. 65M06, 65Z05, 76S05 1.
