Heat transfer from the surface of the human body - validation of a CFD thermal manikin model
Kuruc, Jan ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
This master thesis is focused on CFD simulation of heat transfer from a thermal manikin in a calibration environment and its subsequent validation based on the experiments already performed in the master thesis of Ing. Fojtlín and Ing. Hrubanová. The main objective of the work is to find and test a suitable combination of physical models and set boundary conditions in the simulation model so that the actual heat transfer and airflow processes from the validation experiments are faithfully simulated. In the course of the work, 7 cases were simulated based on individual measurements made during the experiments. The calculated heat transfer coefficients of the thermal mannequin segments for each simulated case can be considered as the main results of the simulation. For the experiment of Ing. Fojtlín, these are the heat transfer coefficients by radiation and convection. For the experiment of Ing. Hrubanová, the total heat transfer coefficients for a manikin with five selected clothing assemblies were determined. Validation was performed by comparing the simulated and experimentally determined values of heat transfer coefficients. Based on the comparison, the developed simulation model could be declared validated.
