Water Simulation

Post by chant » Wed Apr 12, 2017 3:34 am -1100

Hello,
I am working with WUFI 2D-3 on moisture transport in roofs. Is there some way I could simulate stagnant water on the external side of the roof?
Untill now, i had tried to use a thin layer of clay loam with the maximum RH, so as to take an idea.

Thank you,
Charalampos

Hello Charalampos,

the way is the right one.
I used a mineral wool layer, adapted the conductivity and diffusion parameters as well as the density. I startet with an RH of 100% and filled up the layer using a rain water source. I generated a climate file with rain in every hour.

But I did that with WUFI Pro. In WUFI 2D that may cause numerical problems which can lead to a crash of the calcualtion.
