On a pore-scale film flow approach to describe moisture transfer in a hygroscopic porous medium
Abstract
In this work, a film flow model is developed to describe free water transport in a network of parallel capillaries. This model is inserted in a numerical drying code to simulate the longitudinal free water transfer during drying of oak wood. Convective longitudinal drying experiments performed on this type of wood are compared to the computational data. Results indicate that the film flow approach seems to describe the free water transport correctly in the overall non-hygroscopic domain.
