Airflow pattern around a worker in a uniform freestream / Taehyeung Kim, Michael R. Flynn
Sumario: The effect of boundary layer separation on worker is an important factor in the design of local exhaust ventilation. Three-dimensional airflow around a mannequin is examined by using flow visualization techniques and hot-film anemometry. Above the chest, a downwash effect is noted; from the chest to the elbows, a combination of downwash and vortex shedding is observed; and from the waist to the hip, vortex shedding appears to be dominant. A coherent vertical flow structure is observed close to the body
