Ray effect in ray tracing method for radiative heat transfer
نویسنده
چکیده
The ray effect in ray tracing method was analyzed and three new ray emitting methods for a surface element (method A, B and C) were presented. Numerical computations of viewfactors for three different typical configurations indicated that the proposed methods can significantly eliminate the ray effect. Compared with the conventional ray emitting method, the proposed methods, especially method C, can give much higher accuracy with less computer cost. In addition, the new method may have much wider range of applications.

Parallel Load Balancing Heuristics for Radiative Heat Transfer Calculations
The computation of radiative effects by the Photon Monte Carlo method is computationally demanding, especially when complex, nongray absorption models are employed. To solve such computationally expensive problems we have developed a parallel software framework for the photon Monte Carlo method based on ray tracing to compute radiative heat transfer effects. The central problem with obtaining s...
متن کاملA Scalable Algorithm for Radiative Heat Transfer Using Reverse Monte Carlo Ray Tracing
Radiative heat transfer is an important mechanism in a class of challenging engineering and research problems. A direct all-to-all treatment of these problems is prohibitively expensive on large core counts due to pervasive allto-all MPI communication. The massive heat transfer problem arising from the next generation of clean coal boilers being modeled by the Uintah framework has radiation as ...
متن کاملPartition of the circle in cells of equal area and shape
In the present paper, a new method for partitioning a circle in cells is presented. Cells have equal areas and shapes, so the method is termed the Isocell method. Its most interesting property is that cell centres are uniformly distributed inside the circle. Among possible applications of the Isocell method, the calculation of view factors by ray-tracing (image rendering, radiative heat transfe...

Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...

In the present study, the conjugate turbulent free convection with the thermal surface radiation in a rectangular enclosure bounded by walls with different thermophysical characteristics in the presence of a local heater is numerically studied. The effects of surface emissivity and wall materials on the air flow and the heat transfer characteristics are the main focus of the present investigati...
