Simulation of the Effect of Air Gaps between the Skin and a Wet Fabric on Resulting Cooling Flow
Original language description
As the moisture content of a fabric increases the relative water vapour permeability (RWVP) increases as well and the fabric temperature drops due to the evaporation of the water from the surface of the fabric [1]. In this work on the experimental studyof water vapour permeability of wet fabrics, the effect of air layers between the skin of the wearer and the fabric on the total relative cooling heat flow (cooling effect) experienced by the skin of the garment wearer is investigated. It was found out that, when layers of 2 and 4 mm thickness were introduced between the skin and the fabric, the RWVP or relative cooling heat flow are significantly smaller than when the fabric was on direct contact with the skin.
