1. Moisture Transport and Moisture-Induced Distortions in Timber - an Experimental and Numerical Study
Abstract : Timber products subjected to climatic variations commonly display moisture-induced distortions that can lead to serious problems for end-users. The aim of the thesis, which consists of an extended summary and six appended papers, was to investigate the potential of using the gluing technique suggested here for dealing with problems of moisture-induced distortions and developing the heat and mass transfer models which such distortion analyses require.

2. Heat and Mass Transfer in Built Structures - Numerical Analyses
Abstract : Heat and mass transport processes are often present simultaneously in built structures in building applications. The emphasis of this thesis is to contribute to knowledge about predicting the effects of combined heat and mass transport in built structures. READ MORE

3. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach
Abstract : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. READ MORE

4. Modeling the Seasonality of Carbon, Evapotranspiration and Heat Processes for Cold Climate Conditions
Abstract : The productivity of agricultural and forest ecosystems in regions at higher latitudes is to a large extent governed by low temperature and moisture conditions. Environmental conditions are acting both above- and below-ground and regulating carbon fluxes and evapotranspiration. READ MORE

5. Fluxes and Mixing Processes in the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Abstract : Atmospheric models are strongly dependent on the turbulent exchange of momentum, sensible heat and moisture (latent heat) at the surface. Oceans cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface and understanding the processes that control air-sea exchange is of great importance in order to predict weather and climate. READ MORE
