| Popis: | The paper reports a mathematical model governing unsteady coupled moisture and heat energy transport through a green roof, e.g. the canopy (leaf cover), the soil and the structural support. The mathematical model that governs the transport phenomena in the canopy is represented by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the unknown temperature of the plants, and the unknown temperature and moisture content of the canopy air. A set of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) describe the heat and moisture transport through the soil and structural support. Continuous field functions such as temperature and relative humidity, are considered as the driving potentials. A finite difference numerical model is used to solve the ODEs and the boundary element numerical model is used to discretize the PDEs. |
