Interaction of air motion with the human body.

Author(s) : MYERS J. B., HOSNI M. H., JONES B. W.

Summary

Proper distribution of conditioned air plays a major role in both human thermal comfort and indoor air quality. The objectives of the study were to experimentally evaluate airflow conditions around the human body and to characterize the interaction of the thermal plume from the body with the overall room air motion. Results are presented for three test cases: baseline velocity and temperature distribution without manikin, airflow blockage of the unheated manikin, and mixed convection due to interaction of chamber airflow with the heated manikin.
