Numerical Modeling of the Thermal Insulating Properties of Space Suits

Overview
The purpose of this study was to model the thermal insulating properties in an exemplary multi-layer layup of space suits utilizing computer simulation techniques and physics and mathematical models. The main system responsible for thermal insulation is the Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG) material layup. Its structure consists of eight layers with different functions. The utilized textile materials are Rip-Stop-type fabrics, strengthened with the addition of a stronger fiber at fixed intervals. The state variable in thermal problems is the temperature field inside the analyzed TMG. The results obtained from the computer simulation were compared to verification calculations from the mathematical model, which allowed for an assessment of the models’ quality and the obtained results. Two numerical models were analyzed in Ansys Workbench software. This enabled an assessment of the model’s quality and the possible discrepancies. The modeling of the structure was carried out using the Finite Element Method. The possibility of using this exemplary material layup for a suit was verified using normalized data for an adult in outer space.
