Assessment of the validity of some common assumptions in hygrothermal modeling of earth based materials
Energy and Buildings(2016)
Abstract
•A coupled hygrothermal model has been developed and implemented in COMSOL.•The model is validated on experimental data of metric rammed earth wall.•It is used to assess the accuracy of common simplifying assumptions.•Some of these simplifications should not be done to model earthen materials.
