A Robust Finite Element Discretization for Radiative Transfer Problems with Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
A stabilized weak formulation of the radiative transfer equation is presented, which is stable independent of the scattering coeecient. This enables the use of standard nite element discretizations without further algebraic constraints. Furthermore, a weighted residual-based a posteriori error estimate is derived for the discrete solution. An example demonstrates the eeciency of the new method.

Hybrid Finite Volume / Finite Element Method for Radiative Heat Transfer in Graded Index Media
The rays propagate along curved path determined by the Fermat principle in the graded index medium. The radiative transfer equation in graded index medium (GRTE) contains two specific redistribution terms (with partial derivatives to the angular coordinates) accounting for the effect of the curved ray path. In this paper, the hybrid finite volume with finite element method (hybrid FVM/FEM) (P.J...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Finite-volume Solutions of Radiative Heat Transfer in a Complex Two-dimensional Enclosure with Unstructured Polygonal Meshes
Radiative heat transfer in a complex two-dimensional enclosure with an absorbing, emitting, and isotropically scattering gray medium is investigated by using the finite-volume method. In particular, an implementation of the unstructured polygonal meshes, based on an unstructured triangular system, is introduced, thereby reducing the computation time required for the analysis of thermal radiatio...
متن کاملA Comparison of Angular Discretization Schemes of the Hybrid Finite Volume/finite Element Method for the Solution of the Radiative Transfer Equation
A hybrid finite volume / finite element method was developed a few years ago to solve the radiative transfer equation. In this method, the radiation intensity is approximated as a linear combination of basis functions, dependent only on the angular direction. The coefficients of the approximation are unknown functions of the spatial coordinates. This Galerkin-like approximation is introduced in...
