摘要：
A 3D model for the prediction of the effective thermal conductivity of porous building blocks is introduced. Simulations are performed directly on the microstructure using voxel images and the finite element technique. Very good agreement with analytical solutions is achieved. The model is used to investigate the miscalculation effect of 2D simulations, clearly indicating the need for a 3D model. Furthermore, a method for incorporating radiative heat transfer at the microscale is implemented and applied on a synthetic sample, demonstrating the influence of thermal radiation on the effective thermal conductivity.
