| Abstract [eng] |
The main function of clothing is to protect the human body from hazardous environments. Nowadays, the three-dimensional textile is used as a moisture and thermal regulating layer in multi-layer textile packages (e.g. protecting clothing, outdoor clothing), medical bandages. One of the challenges for clothing designers is to ensure thermal comfort between human skin and fabrics. According to the literature, the most important properties of thermal comfort are air permeability, water-vapor resistance, and thermal resistance. Modern finite element computing technologies allow for a highly realistic representation of the physical processes and can even be used to replace experiments. In this work, we present computational techniques and finite element models that allow predicting air permeability, water-vapor resistance, thermal resistance coefficients on a micro-scale. The models can be applied in the development of passive and active cooling systems. The numerical simulations were performed using Comsol Multiphysics and Matlab software. |
