Contents
The lectures will address the different computational methods, solution strategies, discretization and implementation possibilities for physical processes that occur in building physics and/or construction materials. Emphasis will be on the micro to macro scale level and on processes that are active in porous construction materials such as concrete, geopolymers, insulation materials, etc.
Typical problems that will be addressed in this module will be on modelling moisture and/or reactive transport in porous media, heat transport, phase change materials and energy storage, insulation materials, temperature imposed deformations and stresses, and cement hydration.
The module will provide a full solution strategy, so from physical problem, to analysis, schematization and to a computational solution.
The lecture will be held in English language
