HAM Material - [source code]

Porous material for a HAM wall: a hamFoam material model plus density, specific heat and conductivity. The five HAMSTAD benchmark models arrive with their published properties; the rest supply curves only, so wire rho, c and lambda1.

Input

Name Nickname Description Type
Model M hamFoam buildingMaterialModel — the moisture retention and permeability curves. Compiled into the solver image; only these names exist. Text
Density rho Density ρ (kg/m³). Unwired: the catalogued value, where the model has one. Number
Specific Heat c Specific heat capacity (J/kg·K). Unwired: the catalogued value. Number
Lambda Dry L1 Dry thermal conductivity λ1 (W/m·K). Unwired: the catalogued value. Number
Lambda Moisture L2 Moisture-dependent conductivity λ2 (W·m²/kg·K), used as λ = λ1 + ws·λ2. Unwired: the catalogued value (0 for a model with no moisture term). Number

Output
