Visualization Analysis of the Three-Dimensional Air Flow in Clothing

It is difficult to observe the air flow in clothing, which consists of clothing climate. So we manufactured the plate model imitated human body, and measured and visualized the air flow in the air layer of it. The result shows(1) The general direction of air flow of the air layer on the plate model imitated human body is upper way, except near the reverse surface of the textile.(2) Generally speaking, the velocity of the air flow in the air layer is faster in the order of top:open·down:open, top:open·down:close, top:close·down:open, top:close·down:close on the situation of the air layer.(3) Stable ascending air flow exists near the surface of the plate.(4) Descending air flow exists near the reverse surface of the textile, except top:open·down:open.
