Evaluation of thermal comfort using combined multi-node thermoregulation (65MN) and radiation models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
TLDR
In this paper, the Stolwijk model was used to develop a 65-node thermoregulation model with 16 body segments corresponding to the thermal manikin, each consisting of four layers for core, muscle, fat and skin.About:

UTCI--why another thermal index?
TL;DR: UTCI is defined as the isothermal air temperature of the reference condition that would elicit the same dynamic response (strain) of the physiological model of thermoregulation for any combination of air temperature, wind, radiation, and humidity (stress).

A standard predictive index of human response to the thermal environment
TL;DR: The three rational indices of this type to be considered are ASHRAE's Standard Effective Temperature (SET*) Index, defined as the equivalent dry bulb temperature of an isothermal environment at 50% RH in which a subject, while wearing clothing standardized for activity concerned, would have the same heat stress (skin temperature T/sub sk/) and thermo-regulatory strain (skin wettedness, w) as in the actual test environment; Fanger's Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) index, defined in terms of the heat load that would be required to restore
