Synopsis:

Detailed information for future building physics specialists in the field of thermal and moisture behaviour of structures and buildings. Methods of preparing input data for calculations, transient models of thermal and moisture behaviour of structures, use of simulation models of structures in practice, multidimensional heat transfer and its use for more accurate determination of properties of structures (thermal transmittance of curtain walls and windows, linear thermal transmittance of point facade anchors, etc.). Fundamentals of CFD modelling (heat transfer by conduction, radiation and convection in building structures and buildings).

Requirements:

Submission of the assigned exercises and successful completion of the exam.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Boundary conditions of calculations (outdoor and indoor environment parameters and their determination, material parameters needed for calculation, diffusion and convective-diffusion equations, effects of convection on moisture behaviour of constructions)

2. Moisture transfer and ventilated constructions (moisture processes in the construction, risky assemblies and design recommendations, principle of evaluation of ventilated constructions)

3. Dynamic simulation models of the moisture behaviour of constructions (practical introduction to the WUFI program, input data, calculation options, outputs and their processing)

4. CFD analyses of thermal and moisture behaviour of structures (practical introduction to ANSYS (Mechanical), input data, calculation models, output data and their processing, steadystate and transient heat transfer by conduction)

5. CFD analyses of thermal and moisture behaviour of structures (practical introduction to Ansys FLOVENT, steady state heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation in a closed air cavity)

6. CFD analyses of thermal and moisture behaviour of structures (practical introduction to Ansys FLOVENT, steady-state heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation in an open (ventilated) air cavity, water vapour diffusion)

7. Reserve

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Assessment of the assemblies of constructions (detailed evaluation including analysis of the influence of the initial built-in moisture, tapered layers, thermal bridges, soil contact etc.)

2. Evaluation of a ventilated roof (calculation of flow velocity, temperature and relative humidity for different roof assemblies)

3. Complex modelling of moisture processes (dynamic simulation of thermal moisture behaviour of the model construction, influence of rain and solr irradiation)

4. Consultation (independent work of students in the PC classroom)

5. Assessment of a simple detail of wall foundation (processing of the detail with the input scheme in DXF format, calculation of the temperature and moisture field, internal surface temperature and linear thermal transmittance, input of internal heat source)

6. Thermal transmittance of a curtain wall (detailed calculation of the thermal transmittance, detailed 2D models of all necessary details)

7. Evaluation of structures with point thermal bridges (calculation of the 3D temperature field in a section of a double skin wall with a point facade anchor, determination of the point thermal transmittance of the anchor, comparison of the exact thermal transmittance of the evaluated structure with an approximately determined value)

8. Consultation (independent work of students in the PC classroom)

9. Basics of modelling of thermal moisture processes in ANSYS ( input using DesignModeller and DXF file, calculation of steadystate and transient heat transfer by conduction, plotting of results and determination of derived values (integration, average, selection of maximum and minimum))

10. Basics of modelling thermal and humidity processes in ANSYS (calculation of steady-state heat transfer by radiation and convection, possibilities of evaluation of water vapour transfer)

11. Consultation (independent work by students in the PC classroom)

12. Consultation (independent work of students in the PC classroom)

13. Credit, reserve
