A numerical simulation study on the thermal performance of ventilated clothes

In warm climates and particularly during activities involving high level of exertion, the body depends strongly on sweat evaporation to maintain its thermal balance [1]. However, if this mechanism for heat loss is hampered, e.g. by the use of protective clothes, moisture can accumulate near the skin...
