Summary

This work investigates inverse boundary design for radiative heat transfer applied to human thermal environment. The problem consists in finding the temperatures of certain surfaces in a complex configuration around the human being that satisfy both the temperature and the heat flux prescribed on his body. Such a mathematical procedure is called inverse modelling which is described by an ill-conditioned system of linear equations based on the absorption factors method. The solution is obtained by regularizing the system of equations by the Tikhonov method. As a result, optimized conditions for a complex human thermal system are obtained.
