Abstract

In order to predict airflow and suspended substance concentration around a human body, we developed a geometric model of the human form and generated grids around it for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). According to a CFSV model proposed by us we made a domain that included a geometric human model and generated the grids within this domain. By using this model with the grids and the developed CFD program, it is possible to simulate the airflow and the transfer of a suspended substance around the body. The simulated airflow provided a different velocity profile for each region of the body due to the characteristics of the body shape. The simulated distribution of the suspended substance concentration demonstrates how usable the present model is for quantifying a substance in any exposed region of the body.
