A numerical approach to evaluate the personal radiative thermal management of textiles part one: Mid-infrared transmittance, reflection and absorption

Research on the Heating Effect of a Convection Radiator Based on a Human Thermophysiological Model

“…Kang et al [12] developed an advanced 3D thermoregulation model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools that can replace human experiments to circumvent ethical approval requirements and operational limitations in terms of exposure and efficiency. Researchers typically rely on the coupling of human body temperature regulation models with thermal human body models to simulate human thermal physiological responses under given environmental conditions and with regard to the type of clothing worn [13,14]. In the field of applied research on human thermal physiological models, Schellen [15] discussed the use of thermophysiological models to evaluate thermal sensation in building environments, and the results confirmed that when local effects (local skin temperature and thermal sensation) have a significant impact, the PMV cannot predict systemic thermal sensation.…”

Recent advancements in radiative cooling textiles for personal thermal management

“…The application of smart clothing, designed with PRC structural textiles to regulate the human microenvironment, presents a promising solution for efficient PTM. 14–18 To date, many RC textiles, including photonic membranes, 19,20 fibrous films, 21,22 metamaterials, 23,24 hybrid nanoporous polymers, 25–28 and colorful fluorescent materials, 29,30 have been utilized for daytime RC functionality.…”
