Modelling human heat transfer and temperature regulation
In recent years there has been a growing demand from research, military and the
industry for robust, reliable models predicting human thermophysiological responses.
This chapter discusses the various aspects of- and approaches to- modelling human
heat transfer and thermoregulation including the passive and the active system,
numerical tissue heat transfer, environmental heat exchange, clothing. Attention is also
paid to advanced modelling topics such as model personalisation to predict responses
of individuals, and methods for coupling with other simulation models and
measurement systems. Several application examples of coupled systems are
illustrated including numerical and physical simulation systems and a system for noninvasive
assessment of internal temper-ature using signals from wearable sensors.
The predictive performance of the model is discussed based on validation examples
covering different exposure scenarios, personal characteristics, physical activities and
in conjunction with non-invasive determination of rectal temperature with measured
skin tempera-tures as model input. It is concluded that the model is a robust predictor
of hu-man thermophysiological responses, and, the proposed numerical simulation approach
to non-invasive assessment of body core temperature, a reliable method
applicable to a broad range of exposure conditions, personal characteristics, ex-ercise
intensities and type of clothing.
