In the case of precious statues or ancient columns the thermal effects due to periodic lighting conditions in the long run may be very dangerous. In fact, they result in mechanical stresses, evaporation condensation cycles in the micropores and thermal and hygrometric gradients in the surrounding atmosphere which are responsible for phoretic processes associated with the deposition of airborne pollutants (1-5). To understand these processes it is very important to know the thermal properties of the surface and of the inner layers. In works of art it is pratically impossible to measure the behaviour of the parameters inside, unless destructive methods are used. Therefore, models of the heat transfer are the necessary input for additional models of the above-mentioned induced effects. The problem becomes more and more complex as a greater number of conditions regarding the source (i.e. movement and variable intensity) or the body (i.e. shape and composition) are taken into account. A step-by-step procedure has been, therefore, considered.

In previous papers (8,7) we considered simple geometries representative of real cases, i.e. half-spaces, cylinders, spheres. Experimental campaings of building facades (San Francesco's Basilica in Assisi, Orvieto Cathedral, Scrovegni's Chapel in Padua), columns (Trajan and Aurelian in Rome), and statues (San Marco's horses in Venice) gave information on the surface behaviour and only partially (i.e. when possible) on the inner layers. The complete variability of the solar input has been possible only for flat monuments. For different geometries, i.e. cylinder and sphere, the first step was to describe a steady-state lighting corresponding to exhibits in a show room after the transient. The second step, described in this article, is to consider the complete behaviour under periodic lighting conditions. In this step we model the effects of two fixed sources: the first has an intensity time dependent according to a sinusoid (i.e. diffuse solar radiation from a skylight or window or partially closed outdoor environments); the second according to a square-wave law (i.e. spot-light switched on and off). Outdoor monuments heated by solar radiation constitute the more interesting but the more complicated case, due to the variability of the solar input. The next step will be to model an outdoor column or statue exposed to sunlight.

In this paper the case of a cylinder has been considered by using a

mathematical treatement based on the Bessel functions. An extension to the case of a sphere has been already considered for stationary conditions in a previous paper (7) by using the Legendre polynomials. Similarly, the following discussion could be extended to the case of spheres with variable input. Domes characterized by a thin conductive layer of metal (i.e. lead or copper) over an insulating support (i.e. wood or brickwork) require a simpler mathematical treatment, as the radial component of the flux is negligible.

2. - Mathemat i ca l analys is and discussion.

The equation of the heat transfer was solved under the hypotheses that: i) the outgoing flux is constant and ii) the temperature is dependent only on the radial and azimuth distance from the axis of the cylinder, i .e. it is insensitive to disturbances due to the truncation of the cylinder. A more general treatment with outgoing flux dependent on the surface temperature can be made in a first approximation by dividing the flux into two parts: the first constant and the second proportional to the temperature. However, the temperature dependence causes only small departures (6) but a more complex mathematical treatment. The latter condition nearly holds for small radius-to-height ratios or when the cylinder ends with a hemisphere (7).

The solution are presented in terms of the adimensional temperature function Y(~, z, t; ~), dependent on: the azimuth ~ computed starting from the direction of the incoming radiation; the adimensional radial distance z espressed in terms of radius unit, i .e. z = 1 on the surface and z = 0 on the axis, the time t, the adimensional ratio ~ between tha radius a of the cylinder and the penetration depth. For each material and lighting period, the parameter ~ is related to the radius of the cylinder; for each radius and lighting conditions, it is representative of the substance. The actual temperature T is obtained by multiplying Y by the characteristic temperature T*, defmed as follows:

(1) T * = C-Sa/k ,

where C is the absorption coefficient, S the mean value of the incoming flux, k the thermal conductivity.

As the minimum of a periodic lighting is physically nonnegative, from the mathematical point of view, the incoming light is expressed in terms of a variable component plus a stationary component which, when added, transforms the negative minimum into a zero of lighting.

In the case of illumination from a skylight, the source is expressed by a sinusoidal wave plus a stationary component and the solution Y is Y = Y ' + Y" ,

where Y' is the oscillating component and Y" the stationary one. As Y " has been already analysed in a previous paper (7) we will discuss here only the oscillating

Y'. The time variation of Y' on the surface ( i . e . z = 1) is plotted against t in fig. 1. The time evolution of the surface temperature at different azimuths varies sinusoidally and their amplitude decreases for increasing azimuths. We did note that the amplitudes could be only slightly reduced if an outgoing flux dependent on the surface temperature is considered (6) despite our first hypothesis.

For poorly diffusive media or cylinders with large radius, i . e . with large ~, the amplitudes and azimuthal dependence are dramatically reduced. In the case of greater than 3, the part of the cylinder with ~ greater than 90 ~ is practically insensitive to the forcing. This can be easily observed in fig. 2. In the same figure one can observe that, in any case, the amplitude is practically independent of the azimuth in the shadowed part of the cylinder ( i . e . I~1 > 900) �9 However, the ratio between the amplitudes of the temperatures at ~ = 0 ~ and ~ = 180 ~ is close to unity for small ~ and becomes greater and greater for large values of ~. It can be observed that the small azimuthal dependence of the shadowed part makes it behave similarly to a flat surface, whose temperature depends only on the depth.

The phase lag of the thermal waves v s . the radius a for r = 0 is shown in fig. 3 for some values of ~. The curves are quasi straight lines and their slope is an increasing function of ~. For small values of t~ the thermal waves at different depths tend to be in phase between each other.

The greater ~ is, the lesser are the phase lags on the lighted part of the cylinder. On the contrary, they are greater on the shaded part. This means that the thermal surface pattern of poorly diffusive cylinder can be roughly divided into three parts: i) the lighted part where the temperature waves are quite syncronous, i i )

a sudden transition zone, i i i ) the shaded part where the thermal pattern is homogeneous and time independent.

Note tha t in the par t of the cylinder facing source, the curves at t = + 3 and t = - 9, are close to the maximum and minimum of surface tempera ture . Among the repor ted curves, a double oscillation with two minima is well distinguishable for t = - 3.

The mathematical analysis shows (see appendix) that points at equal distance from the axis and aligned with the incoming beam have temperature differences which can be expressed in a relatively simple form having a sinusoidal time dependence, with amplitude and phase depending only on t~. Therefore, for each internal cylindrical layer the mean flux between each couple of points aligned with the incoming beam is equal to the tangential flux at ~ = 90 ~

In the case of artificial lighting, especially for direct spot-light, the forcing is a square wave, mathematically expressed as a Fourier expansion (see appendix). The overall thermal wave Y has been computed for two cases: lighting duration LD = 4h and LD = 12h per day.

In fig. 6 the surface thermal wave Y ( t ) is reported for some azimuths and = 1 and ~ = 4. Y ( t ) refers to the average value of the axis. In fig. 6a) (LD = 4h, = 1), for all azimuths, the temperature is sensitive to the forcing input. The

switching on causes a sudden warming on the lighted part: the shadowed one follows with some delay. The switching off causes a sudden drop in temperature in the lighted part; on the shadowed part the rise in temperature continues again and the cooling occurs gradually with some delay. We note that the limit between the lighted and shaded zones, i .e . ~ = 90 ~ behaves closely to the average value of the temperature of the whole cylinder. A few hours after the switch off, all the curves are pratically undistinguishable showing a quite homogeneous temperature on the whole surface. In fig. 6b) (LD--4h, ~ = 4) the increase of t~ causes a reduction of the amplitude and sensibility to the forcing. In fact, for

= 90 ~ the time evolution is very small. For most of the period, the surface temperature is not homogeneous. For a longer external forcing (see fig. 6c) with LD = 12h and t~ = 1) all surface temperatures at various azimuths are distinct, except at the very end of the cooling period. The curve of the warming period is symmetrical with reference to the cooling period. The temperature wave at

= 180 ~ is close to sinusoid. The temperature dependence on ~ is reported in fig. 7a) for LD = 4, z = 1 and

= 0. The attenuation of the amplitude is greater for increasing values of ~. For > 1, some hours after the switch off the surface temperature seems to be

pratically independent of~. On the axis of the cylinder (fig. 7b)) very conductive media or thin cylinders behave like straight lines, similarly to the mean temperature of the body. The increse of ~ causes a more smoothed curve. For

> 3 the curves are barely distinguishable in the graph. From the physical point of view, it appears that the thermal behaviour of a

cylinder can be simulated by means of other cylinders with different radius a, or substance, or lighted with different period P, if one or two of these parameters is chosen accordingly. In fact, t~ is expressed by

The mathematical model of the thermal wave inside a cylinder exposed to periodic lighting can be used as an input to compute the mechanical stresses as well as its thermo-hygrometric behaviour. The model of the surface temperature pattern and evolution is used to compute the phoretic deposition of airborne pollutants. An indepth knowledge of these processes is very important in the

MODELLING THE THERMAL PATTERN OF A STATUE OR COLUMN EXPOSED ETC. 463

science of conservation, especially for the case of delicate exhibits lighted in show rooms with spot-light or sky-light or outdoor statues in niches or other partially closed environments.

The model has shown some characteristic features, as summarized below. It has been seen that, for high values of~, the amplitude depends very poorly

on the azimuth. In particular, the shadowed part is pratically insensitive to the azimuth variation.

For small values of ~ the amplitudes of the thermal wave are very large, causing enhanced thermo-hygrometric cycles on the bodies.

The phase lags between points at different depths increase with ~. The phase lags behave differently in three zones of the cylinder: i) the part facing the light, ii) the two transition zones, iii) the shadowed part.

For short lighting durations and small ~ the switching on or off of artificial light causes sudden and harmful temperature variations. Some hours after the switching off, the whole cylinder surface with small ~ reaches a homogeneous temperature.

The mathematical analysis ofthe thermal behaviour of a cylinder shows how a physical simulation can be made, by changing radius, substance and lighting period, separately or together.

By expressing the solution of eq. (1) O(r, 9, t) in terms of two components, stationary and time-dependent, i.e. O(r, 9, t) = O"(r, 9) + O'(r, 9, t), the boundary condition too can be expressed in two parts, namely

Viene modellata la propagazione dell'onda termica in una colonna o in una statua, geometricamente ide:~tificabili con un cilindro, nel caso di illuminazione da luce periodica. Sono state considerate due tipi di sorgenti: la prima con un'intensit~ variabile sinusoidal- mente nel tempo (che pub rappresentare un'illuminazione dovuta a luce solare diffusa penetrante, ad esempio, da un lucernaio o da finestre parzialmente chiuse); la seconda con intensiti~ variabile come un'onda quadra (rappresentante una luce artificiale periodi- camente accesa e spenta). I1 modello ha identificato alcuni andamenti caratteristici, espressi in funzione di un parametro adimensionale tL come rapporto t r a i l raggio del cilindro e la profondit~ di attenuazione, la qual.e congloba tutte le caratteristiche termiche della sostanza e del periodo di illuminazione. E stato osservato che per alti valori di ~ la dipendenza delrampiezza dell'azimut diviene molto scarsa. Viceversa, per piccoli valori di t~ le ampiezze delronda termica divengono piuttosto marcate, causando pericolosi cicli termoigrometrici nelle opere d'arte. Gli sfasamenti tra punti a differenti profondit~ crescono con il crescere di ~. In superficie gli sfasamenti presentano una diversa dipendenza azimutale, caratterizzando tre zone: i) la parte direttamente affacciata alla luce; ii) le due zone transizionali; iii) la parte in ombra. Si ~ osservato che per piccoli periodi di illuminazione e per piccoli ~ continue accensioni e spegnimenti diluce artificiale causano improvvise e dannose variazioni di temperatura; sono inoltre necessarie alcune ore affinch~ la superficie raggiunga una temperatura omogenea. L'analisi matematica del comportamento termico di un cilindro fornisce gli elementi necessari per poter eseguire una simulazione in laboratorio, potendo opzionalmente cambiare alcuni parametri anzich~ altri, tra cui raggio del cilindro, tipo di materiale e periodo di illuminazione.
