spring 2019 TEK-8106 Flows in Porous Media - 10 ECTS
Type of course
The subject can be taken as a singular course.
- The PhD course is primarily open to UiT's PhD students (Category 1).
One or more of these categories of course students may also
be admitted:
- Category 2: Participants in the Associate Professor programme that fulfil the educational requirements.
- Category 3: Doctoral students from other universities.
- Category 4: People with a minimum of a master's degree (or equivalent), who have not been admitted to a doctoral programme.
Course content
The objective of the course is to present classical and modern analytical modeling of heat and mass transfer in building materials such as concrete, wood, and soil. A treatment of the classical heat diffusion- and Navier-Stokes model for heat and mass transfer respectively will be considered. Different kinds of transport mechanisms in combinations with various types of pores that typically appears in the same porous system will be considered. Limits of such models are analyzed and compared with actual flows. Modern trends of construction for transport phenomena in the building materials will be discussed.Objectives of the course
Knowledge:
After passing the course, the student is expected to be able to
- Determine the motion of fluid (liquid or gas) flow through the porous structure of buildings materials.
- Understand the heat transfer in porous buildings material.
- Know several strategies for handling the heat and moisture transfer in buildings material.
- Evaluate the expediency and application for analytical modeling heat and mass transfer in building materials in research and scholarly development projects.
Skills:
After passing the course, the student is expected to be able to
- Identify the physical parameters of flow and properties of materials in modeling.
- Calibrate models using experimental data.
- Handle standard constructions of heat and mass transfer in building materials.
Habits of mind:
After passing the course, the student is expected to be able to
- Formulate mathematical and physics models of flows in porous media in a way which enables communication of research and development in applied sciences of transport phenomena.
- Formulate and solve basic mass transport problem with various transport driving forces in different pores type.
