The Moisture Transport Interfaces
The Moisture Transport interfaces (
) are used to compute the relative humidity in a medium. It comes in several versions to account for different media:
•
The Moisture in Air Interface
•
The Moisture Transport in Porous Media Interface
•
The Moisture Transport in Building Materials Interface
The Moisture in Air Interface
The Moisture Transport in Air interface (
) is used to compute the relative humidity distribution in air. It simulates moisture transport by vapor convection and diffusion in moist air and the evaporation or condensation on walls.
See
The Moisture Transport in Air Interface
for details.
The Moisture Transport in Porous Media Interface
The Moisture Transport in Porous Media interface (
) is used to compute the relative humidity field in porous media. It simulates moisture transport by vapor convection and diffusion in the gas phase, liquid water transport by convection and capillarity, in the pores of the media. A Hygroscopic Porous Medium feature is active by default on all domains.
See
The Moisture Transport in Porous Media Interface
for details.
The Moisture Transport in Building Materials Interface
The Moisture Transport in Building Materials interface (
) is used to compute the relative humidity field in building materials. It simulates moisture transport by taking in account moisture storage, liquid transport by capillary suction forces, and convective transport of vapor.
