Perspiration vapor lightens near skin air but hinders human evaporative cooling in arid heat
Shri H. Viswanathan, Ankit Joshi, Isabella DeClair +7
Sweat evaporation is the body's primary cooling mechanism, yet the physical factors governing it are not fully understood. We identify a dueling buoyancy effect in the context of t…

A micro-to-macroscale and multi-method investigation of human sweating dynamics
Cibin T. Jose, Ankit Joshi, Shri H. Viswanathan +4
Sweat secretion and evaporation from the skin dictate the human ability to thermoregulate and thermal comfort in hot environments and impact skin interactions with cosmetics, texti…

Resolving shortwave and longwave irradiation distributions across the human body in outdoor built environments
Kambiz Sadeghi, Shri H. Viswanathan, Ankit Joshi +7
Outdoor built environments can be designed to enhance thermal comfort, yet the relationship between the two is often assessed in whole-body terms, overlooking the asymmetric nature…
