Driving rain for hygrothermal analysis-Research project at Leuven
Research project
Driving rain as a microclimatology boundary condition for
hygrothermal and durability analysis.
Responsible for the project:
Jan Carmeliet, member of research team Department of civil engineering
Driving rain as a microclimatology boundary condition for hygrothermal and durability analysis.
Project summary:
The aim of the research project is:
1. The experimental and numerical quantification of the driving rain load on building envelopes and the validation of the numerical approach by the measurement results.
2. The development of driving rain models as input for HAM-models (Heat, Air and Moisture transfer) and their validation.
3. The study of rain control and screened wall systems, based on the acquired knowledge of driving rain loads and HAM transport effects.
