Abstract
A numerical simulation, which predicts the thermal environment of a car cabin under varying conditions of car air-conditioning, was developed. The coupled analysis of solar radiation, long-wave radiation, heat conduction through the materials and CFD was used in this method. Using a simplified cabin model, ventilation inside the instrument panel and air leaks from the gaps of interior parts were incorporated. The condition of artificial solar radiation in the laboratory room was also studied. The numerical targets of the simulation accuracy on the thermal environment factors were determined by considering both the experimental error and the range of human perception to the thermal factors experimentally.
