Abstract

Sauna bathing, which has attracted much attention in recent years, because it has t relaxation effect. On the other hand, the risk of heatstroke in saunas has not been evaluated, and it is necessary to evaluate the heat transfer characteristics around the human body against the heatstroke. To solve this problem the heat transfer inside the sauna room was evaluated by numerical simulation using OpenFOAM. To understand the radiative heat flux which propagates to the human body, the mean radiative temperature inside the sauna room was evaluated.
