Soldiers can wear chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) protective clothing to be protected against warfare agents. The disadvantage of that clothing is that higher protection introduces higher physiological burden. Therefore an optimum between comfort and protection must be found. Models of all relevant processes were created to find this optimum. The airflow profile around a cylinder with clothing-representing a dressed human body part-was modelled. This flow profile was used for calculating the agent vapour breakthrough through the clothing and for calculating the deposition of agents onto the skin (as indicators for protection). The flow profile was also used for calculating the temperature profile around the body part and the relative humidity underneath and in the clothing (as representative for physiological burden). As a result a tool was created, which can be used to identify the optimum properties of CBRN protective clothing, depending on the intended mission of the soldiers.
士兵可以穿化学、生物、放射性和核（CBRN）防护服来保护自己免受作战剂的伤害。这种防护服的缺点是，更高的防护会带来更高的生理负担。因此，必须在舒适和保护之间找到一个最佳平衡点。创建了所有相关过程的模型来找到这个最佳平衡点。对带有防护服的圆柱体（代表穿着防护服的人体部位）周围的气流轮廓进行了建模。该气流轮廓用于计算防护服透过的剂蒸气以及剂在皮肤上的沉积（作为保护的指示）。该气流轮廓还用于计算身体部位周围的温度分布以及防护服内外的相对湿度（作为生理负担的代表）。结果，创建了一种工具，可以根据士兵的预期任务来确定 CBRN 防护服的最佳性能。
