In civil aircraft cabin, the requirement of comfort heating for passengers and crew in door areas is increasing. For the benefit of proper design for supplemental heating systems, a thermal model of door area is developed and the thermal comfort is investigated with CFD method. Human thermal comfort, gray thermal radiation, and Boussinesq hypothesis should be considered in physical modeling. The air distribution including air temperature and air velocity at different height above the floor is presented and analyzed according to ASHRAE 161 standard. The thermal model is validated through flight test, and results show good consistency between CFD solution and flight data.
