Numerical codes were developed to model the heat transfer in inhomogeneous media, both in 1D and 2D cases, by solving the forward thermal problem through the Finite Difference method. Such codes were first validated through Pulse Thermography measurements on a specimen simulating a damaged wall structure. Then, the codes were applied for quantitative analysis of experimental data acquired in the Marcus Fabius Rufus' House (Pompeii, Italy). In particular, modelling of temperature transients allowed to define both nature and depth of the thermal anomaly sources, which provides important contributions to possible future restoration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
