Abstract :
This study is to simulate thermal comfort of passenger in the specified truck by field ynergy principle using turbulence flow to analyze input wind temperature and position, input wind u, v, w, passenger temperature, his position and thermal load. In this research, we use COMSOL software to analyze velocity and temperature fields and comfort impact of input position of wind. The results show that field synergy angle can indicate low angle increase better comfort of passenger in the specified truck.
