Description

Research centres around the world have developed many different configurations to represent a computer simulated person. The manikins are very different with respect to size, form, heat emission details, turbulence models, etc. The variation may reflect the various possibilities in software and different standards for persons from country to country.
To support the development of a CFD Manikin, we have introduced two benchmark tests for the boundary conditions around a CFD manikin. One test is for air quality and one is for thermal comfort. The benchmark test also gives different researchers predictions for the two cases. About 100 references are given at the webpage. See: http://www.cfd-benchmarks.com/.
The idea behind a benchmark test, which define the boundary conditions around a CFD manikin, is the following: When you have tested your own idea of a CFD manikin under the same boundary conditions as a number of other researchers, you can make comparisons, and perhaps make some new decisions on geometrical details of your design, turbulence model, type of grid etc. This may hopefully lead to simplifications of a CFD manikin.
The webpage do also show a benchmark test for the flow in a room ventilated with a slot inlet (The IEA Annex 2D case).
