Thin Vapor Barrier

Application ID: 119451


This tutorial model compares the results between a domain approach and the Thin Moisture Barrier feature to simulate the moisture transport in a wall with a vapor barrier. The Thin Moisture Barrier feature neglects diffusion, two studies are proposed, a first one where diffusion is neglected in the upper domains, and a second one where diffusion is accounted for to show the applicability of the Thin Moisture Barrier feature.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
