Integration of thermophysiological body model in CFD

Abstract: A two-node mathematical model of the human thermophysiological system has been integrated into a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation of the airflow in a room. Temperature inputs from the CFD are used by the model to evaluate the dry and latent heat flux from the body surface and output them as boundary conditions. This is an iterative process and convergence is ensured by under-relaxation of the latent heat flux. The model also considers the dry and latent heat resistance of clothing. Numerical predictions of the body heat loss and airflow are compared against physical measurements in a climate chamber. Good agreement was observed when using the low Reynolds number turbulence model. The integrated simulation performs well under wide set of conditions, predicting body core and skin temperature, blood flow, skin wittedness, as well as the transfer of heat and moisture released by the body into the room.
