Three dimensional fluid flow, temperature and moisture distribution, heat transfer (sensible and latent) between human body and ambient, radiation and convection heat transfer rates on human body surfaces, local and average convection coefficients and skin temperatures were calculated. The radiative heat transfer coefficient predicted for the whole-body was 4.6 W m(-2) K-1, closely matching the generally accepted whole-body value of 4.7 W m(-2) K-.(-1) Similarly, the whole-body natural convection coefficient for the manikin fell within the mid-range of previously published values at 3.8 W m(-2) K-1. Results of calculations were in agreement with available experimental and theoretical data in literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAnimal cell cultureComputational fluid dynamicsDynamicsFluid dynamicsFluid mechanicsHeat convectionHeat exchangersHeating equipmentMass transferMoisturePhysiological modelsThermoanalysisThree dimensionalVirtual realityCfdCombined computational modelComputational modellingConvection coefficientsConvection heat transferHeat and mass transferHuman bodiesMoisture distributionsMoisture transportingRadiative heat transferSkin temperaturesThermal comfortThree dimensional fluid flowVirtual thermal manikinWhole-bodyHeat transferThermodynamicsMechanicsModelling airflow, heat transfer and moisture transport around a standing human body by computational fluid dynamicsArticle0002598455000202-s2.0-5084913848111591164359ThermodynamicsMechanicsAirborne Infection; Bioaerosols; Operating Rooms
