“…Specifically, the simulations indicate which windows have a dominant effect on the presence of moisture in areas where it should be avoided and therefore can be used to choose those windows that should remain closed or be sealed. Fluid dynamics also plays a key role in the investigation of suitable ventilation strategies for the conservation of St. Martin church in Oberesslingen (Germany) [27]. This research aims at avoiding temperature gradients in the air volume surrounding the pipes of a historic organ.…”

“…The predominance of simulations of temperature and humidity may be explained by the predominant role of these parameters in many processes that affect heritage materials. Temperature has been simulated as a concern for materials, such a church organ preservation [27], but also for human comfort [9]. Temperature is the key parameter in the design of sustainable heating strategies that minimise energy consumption while obtaining appropriate conditions, for objects and for occupants [43,54].…”

This review addresses the use of computational fluid dynamics for the interpretation and preservation of heritage. Fluid dynamic simulations in the heritage field focus mostly on slow air movement in indoor spaces and they usually involve temperature and humidity. Simulations have different roles: they may be exploratory, they may be used to support preventive conservation and occasionally they aid historical or archaeological interpretation. The research questions rarely involve testing or development of new mathematical formulations; instead, existing computational models are used as a means to help solve practical issues. Computationally, the simulations are typically steady-state and they always use a turbulence model. Experimental validations against measured data are uncommon and there is a need for the production of benchmarking cases and the publication of experimental data. Further research is needed in order to explore suitable approximations to the simulation of change in the timescale of months or years, low turbulence flows for which current mainstream turbulence models are ill-suited, and new mathematical formulations for near-wall transport phenomena.

Abstract. The paper presents new thermal design of external wall S. Radonezhskiy temple in Volgograd is developed according to author's concept. The three-layer brick wall, including a thermal insulation layer from concrete with polystyrene aggregates, is considered. Calculation of interstitial condensation in building component is carried out according to simplified calculation method developed by the author and harmonized to ISO 13788. Analysis of calculation results shows that condensation occurs at one interface during some months but there is no accumulation over the year as all the condensate is predicted to evaporate again. Thus, there is no systematic moisture accumulation at the building component within a year. The risk of run-off from non-absorbent materials will be very low. Analysis of the evaporation rates at the interface shows that duration of drying wetted layer in external wall during initial stage does not exceed admissible values.
