Lund-Gothenburg Group for Computational Building
Physics
Our research group studies heat, moisture and air flow
processes in buildings and building components. The aim is to develop computer models and other
tools of analysis in order to understand, describe and compute in sufficient
detail temperatures, moisture levels, and so on. Numerical and analytical methods are often used in combination. An important goal is to establish
simplified, practically useful methods of analysis, and in particular
well-documented, handy PC-programs.
The mathematical, physical and computational methods to handle the multifarious processes of building physics have many common features. The
same numerical technique may be used in quite different situations. This is the main rationale to have a group for computational building physics.
The diffusion and application of the developed models and other tools of
analysis are an overall goal for the group. Hence, the group endeavors to work closely together with other researchers and research groups in various
applications. This interaction is a main stimulus for the model development.
The group consists of the following members:
