Abstract
1. The parameters determining the forced convective heat loss from a heated body in an air stream are outlined. 2. Local forced convective heat transfer distributions around the human head and a heated vertical cylinder at various wind speeds in a climatic chamber have been found to be similar and related to the aerodynamic flow patterns. 3. From the local convective coefficient distribution, values for the overall convective coefficient h‐c at various wind speeds have been evaluated. These are seen to agree closely with existing whole body coefficients determined by other methods.
