LoginA number of different thermal manikins have been applied in literature to experimentallystudy the indoor environment. These manikins differ in size, shape and level of geometriccomplexity ranging from simple box or cylinder shaped thermal manikins to humanlikebreathing thermal manikins. None of the reported studies, however, deals with the influenceof geometry of the thermal manikin. This paper provides an experimental study on theinfluence of manikin geometry on concentration distribution and personal exposure of athermal manikin located in a full-scale displacement ventilated room.The results show no significant influence of manikin geometry on personal exposurewhereas the convective flow around the manikins and the concentration distribution at somedistance showed to be different.
