This publication aims to investigate conjugate heat and mass transfer around a clothed virtual manikin. This research can be performed at different scales: (1) at material scale where a piece of textile is investigated in 1D or 2D space or (2) at system level where a clothed cylindrical body (2D) or a complete manikin (3D) is modeled. The work is based on previous methods and results from literature [4-9]. The textile material is considered as a porous material where convection and diffusion processes of air and water vapor are modeled together with water vapor absorption. COMSOL Multiphysics software with the CFD Module and Heat Transfer Module is used in this model.
