Numerical solution to the steady state equation of transfer in azimuthally symmetric geometries
Abstract
The GLAM code can be used to calculate the various moments for the time independent equation of transfer for azimuthally symmetric problems. In particular, due to its unique method of calculating the cut-off angles, GLAM provides accurate view factors that can be used in conjunction with heat transfer calculations. In addition, since GLAM uses an integral approach, accurate answers can be obtained for specialized problems.
