Biothermal simulation of scuba divers.
A biothermal model of the immersed man is presented and validated. Comparisons are made between analytic and experimental values of temperature-vs-time profiles for neck-immersed seminude and wet-suited subjects. An engineering example is presented to demonstrate how the model may be used to evaluate proposed life-support system designs.
