Virtual Thermal Manikin – Mathematical Modelling of Human Thermoregulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Early works on so called segment (compartment) models were based on extremely simplified geometry and covered mainly only passive heat transfer [3,4]. Later developed models were devoted on development of active thermoregulation part, focusing on precise description of changes in: non-shivering thermogenesis (metabolic heat production), perfusion of selected tissues and sweating. The number of segments used was increased as well. Review of segment type models of human heat transfer and thermoregulation is summarized in [5, 6].

An integrated approach to develop, validate and operate thermo-physiological human simulator for the development of protective clothing
Following the growing interest in the further development of manikins to simulate human thermal behaviour more adequately, thermo-physiological human simulators have been developed by coupling a thermal sweating manikin with a thermo-physiology model. Despite their availability and obvious advantages, the number of studies involving these devices is only marginal, which plausibly results from t...
متن کاملSimulation of perspiration in sweating fabric manikin-Walter
Thermal manikins are essential tools for the comfort evaluation of the thermal environment and clothing as well as research into the dynamics of heat and moisture transfer from the human body to the environment – a foundation for thermal physiology and environmental engineering. Since the development of the first non-sweating, single segment copper thermal manikin by the US Army in 1940s, there...
متن کاملDesign strategy for maximizing the energy-efficiency of a localized floor-heating system using a thermal manikin with human thermoregulatory control
Localized HVAC systems with the task-ambient conditioning concept represent a promising option towards energy-saving in buildings. The design of such systems needs to involve evaluation of the local thermal comfort that corresponds to different body segments. In this work, an experimental technique using a thermal manikin was developed to determine the optimum configuration(s) among different v...
متن کاملHuman Body’s Micro-climate: Measurement and Simulation for the Coupling of Cfd with a Human Thermoregulation Model
When coupling computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a detailed thermal comfort model describing the human thermoregulation, the characteristics of the micro-climate of the human body have to be known. In the paper, CFD has been applied to investigate human body’s micro climate. A climate chamber equipped with a thermal manikin has been used to validate the CFD simulations against measurement...
متن کاملModel-adaptive Analysis of Indoor Thermal Comfort
We address the model-adaptive coupling between computational codes for indoor thermal comfort analysis considering different levels of detail in space and time. Starting with a whole-year simulation, significant periods are interactively identified in terms of a coarse thermal comfort analysis. After refining these critical intervals with respect to the spatial resolution, a multi-segment manik...
