Hygrothermal performance analysis at the wall scale based on various hysteresis models [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe hygrothermal performance of building components (e.g., exterior walls) influences indoor thermal and humidity conditions as well as the energy consumption of associated heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Influence of Waterproof Fabrics on Coupled Heat and Moisture Transfer in a Clothing System
Sen'i Gakkaishi, 2003 This paper investigates the influence of waterproof fabrics on heat and moisture transfer through a clothing system. The water vapor permeability (WVP) for the outside layer was derived from published experimental data, and was considered to be a factor influencing the mass transfer coefficient at the boundary exposed to the environment.

Coupled atmosphere-wildland fire modeling with WRF-Fire
, 2011 We describe the physical model, numerical algorithms, and software structure of WRF-Fire. WRF-Fire consists of a fire-spread model, implemented by the level-set method, coupled with the Weather Research and Forecasting model. In every time step, the fire

Idealized model for changes in equilibrium temperature, mixed layer depth, and boundary layer cloud over land in a doubled CO2 climate [PDF]
, 2010 An idealized equilibrium model for the undisturbed partly cloudy boundary layer (BL) is used as a framework to explore the coupling of the energy, water, and carbon cycles over land in midlatitudes and show the sensitivity to the clear‐sky shortwave flux,

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND MODELING OF COUPLED HEAT AND MOISTURE TRANSFERS IN CEMENT MORTAR
International Journal Of Engineering & Applied Sciences, 2014 In spite of the broad use of cement mortar in construction field, its hygrothermal behavior is not clarified, up to now, satisfactorily, especially under the particular conditions of its use. A study is carried out on a block of cement mortar subjected to variations in temperature and humidity. Numerical and experimental approaches are used.

Applications of Coupled Heat and Moisture Transfer Simulations in Buildings
, 2020 The uncontrolled presence of moisture in building envelopes and structures could be the cause of several typologies of damages (for example freeze-thaw cycles damage or corrosion of metal reinforcements) and health and safety hazard for the occupants (mould and fungi growth).

Modelling of water balance and nitrogen cycle in vegetative filter strips [PDF]
, 2006 The retention of nutrients by 10-m-wide grass buffers and buffers under natural vegetation has been studied over 10 years in Jokioinen in southwestern Finland. The results have been compared with those from 70-m-long plots without buffers. Grass was sown
