Abstract
Thermal comfort inside a truck cabin is a parameter that influences the well-being of the driver and passengers. From the very first steps of designing the driver’s seat of a vehicle, the driver’s well-being is taken into account through ergonomic parameters. To analyze the ultimate comfort inside a truck cabin, a simplified sketch of the cabin will be proposed. The three-dimensional analytical calculation model is solved using the Ansys program in the Fluid Flow (CFX) module. Through modeling and numerical simulations, the temperature inside a truck cabin, the mode of movement of the air flow and the speed of the air flow are determined. Following these tests, it is checked whether the thermal comfort conditions for the driver and passengers in a truck cabin are respected and fulfilled. These term comfort conditions are evaluated based on some comfort indices available in specialized literature.
