Study of the Hygrothermal Behavior of Wood Fiber Insulation Subjected to Non-Isothermal Loading

Applied Sciences, 2019
Building envelopes are constantly subjected to temperature and moisture gradients. This loading induces a complex response, particularly for highly hygroscopic insulating materials.

THM analysis of compacted clay liner response to baled municipal waste [PDF]

, 2017
Heat is generated in municipal waste containment facilities due to the chemical and biochemical evolution of waste. Sometimes it is required to check if the level of heat generated during the deposit lifetime may damage or reduce the isolating properties

Implementing the Simple Biosphere Model (SiB) in a general circulation model: Methodologies and results [PDF]

The Simple Biosphere MOdel (SiB) of Sellers et al., (1986) was designed to simulate the interactions between the Earth's land surface and the atmosphere by treating the vegetation explicitly and relistically, thereby incorporating biophysical controls on
