Group characteristics
The research group is engaged in the solution of transport phenomena in building materials and components using methods of mathematical and computational modeling. Heat, moisture, chemical compounds, and electric charge transport belong to characteristic examples of problems solved. The computer simulated data are utilized, e.g., for the assessment of hygrothermal- and energy performance of building envelopes, or service life prediction of surface layers. Computational methods are also employed at design and optimization of composite mixtures, or tailored design of specific components in building structures.
