A complete simulation framework for stone degradation on 3D real geometries

Silvia Preda, Gabriella Bretti, Francesco Freddi +2

We present a complete workflow for predicting stone degradation phenomena, such as marble sulfation, in works of art. The main challenge is to accurately acquire the geometry of th…

Bayesian methods for the identification of model parameters for water transport in porous media

Paola Stolfi, Elia Onofri, Gabriella Bretti

The structure of the nonlinear inverse problem arising from capillarity-driven imbibition in porous media is investigated, considering a degenerate parabolic PDE with compactly sup…

Dissolution of carbonate stones caused by CO2 pollutant: Numerical modelling of erosion scenarios

Elishan Christian Braun, Gabriella Bretti, Samuele Ferri +2

In this paper, we introduce a mathematical model of carbonate-stone erosion driven by the penetration of CO2-derived acidity into the water-filled pore network. The model couples t…

Structural Identifiability and Comparative Calibration of Water Retention Curves for Imbibition in Porous Media

Gabriella Bretti, Maurizio Ceseri, Elia Onofri +1

This paper investigates the structural identifiability and a comparative calibration of four water retention curves (WRCs) within the framework of the Richards equation coupled wit…

Finite elements for the space approximation of a differential model for salts crystallization

Alessandra Aimi, Gabriella Bretti, Giulia Di Credico +3

This article investigates a space-time differential model related to the degradation of stone artifacts caused by exposure to air and atmospheric agents, which specifically lead to…

Mathematical modelling of the water absorption properties for historical lime-based mortars from Catania (Sicily, Italy)

Gabriella Bretti, Cristina M. Belfiore

In this paper we propose a mathematical model of the capillary and permeability properties of lime-based mortars from the historic built heritage of Catania (Sicily, Italy) produce…
