ICARUS: A Code For Burn Injury Evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
A computer code ICARUS (Injuries CAused by Radiation Upon the Skin) has been developed for evaluating the time to second degree burn injury from thermal radiation. This paper introduces the modelling methodology incorporated in ICARUS and illustrates the validation of the code. It solves the heat transfer problem associated with simultaneous radiation, conduction and convection within a multilayered diathermanous clothing/skin assembly coupled with the thermal responses of the clothing fabrics. The code is designed to run on an IBM-PC or compatible.
