LoginThis paper reports on the relationship between dryness of the eyes and the presence of airflow around the eyes..The results of a CFD analysis show that a rising airflow around the body forms a coating over the surface of the face. That boundary layer disappears on the face when there is a horizontal room airflow which comes towards the face. Then measurement of the mass transfer coefficient of water on the human face and eye is made. Lastly the iris of the eye is photographed when the subject is exposed to the supply jet from a personal air-conditionining system : the symptoms of dry eye syndrome appears clearly on the iris.
