WUFI

Hi,

I've been using WUFI 2D to look at the vapour diffusion resistance factors of materials drying. It seems that WUFI will use atmospheric pressure from climate files to calculate this factor. If the climate file doesn't contain this information, then the altitude is used. However, what if there ...

Hi,

I think my problem with the climate file was that I was trying to do too much with one simulation. I would have a flood scenario for 12 hours, and then normal weather (with no driving rain) for 2 years, with hourly data. It is much simpler to do the flooding and drying in two seperate ...

Hi Daniel,

That's right, I'm looking at the length of time taken to dry out walls - or, more realistically, the relative differences between walls.

Do you really think gravity and depth won't play a significant role? I thought it might.

Can you tell me how the different climate files work? I've ...

Hi Daniel,

My intention is to simulate many different types of walls that can be found in the current building stock, as well as current popular wall types. The work is to do with flood resilience.

To be honest, I started using WUFI 2D because I thought it could do gravity. I was wrong... But, I ...

Hi,

I'm a researcher looking into modeling the drying of flooded walls using WUFI with the relative humidity of the materials set to 100%. I was wondering whether WUFI 2D is suitable for modeling this kind of scenario, and what the pros and cons of using it would be. Are you aware of any work that ...

I've been using this trick to study how different wall types react to flooding, and I have got some nice results.

One area I am not sure about though is cavity walls, specifically those with an air gap. When I used a material air gap, the solid walls become very wet, but nothing happens inside the ...
