Various models have been developed to simulate human thermoregulation but little is developed to estimate the human thermal responses in water environment. In this study, a numerical modeling has been performed to simulate the human thermal response in water immersion, validated with experimental data. A 29-node human thermoregulation model has been developed to estimate the skin and the core temperature, including the effects of metabolic rate, evaporative heat loss and others (Fig.A-1). The model can predict the human thermal response with different water temperature and part of body immersion. The experiments were done in three different cases (Fig.A-2) and the experimental data of oral and mean skin temperature are used for the validation of the simulation results in different criteria. It is noticed that in most cases the simulation results are consistent with experimental data (Fig.A-3,Fig.A-4). This concludes that the present model may be useful in the simulation of human thermal reaction while taking a bath and doing other human activities in an aquatic environment.[figure]
