An alternative formulation for radiative transfer in an isotropically scattering two-dimensional bar geometry and solution using the source function expansion method
Abstract
The source function expansion method is used to determine the radiative transfer in an isotropically scattering, absorbing and emitting two-dimensional rectangular region with uniform homogeneous properties at a given frequency. Numerical results are presented for the spectral source function and radiation heat flux components. A comparison of the lowest order (S-0) source expansion solution with iterative and finite difference solutions shows that the S-0 analysis yields accurate results which are computationally efficient. Such efficiency becomes important when considering applications involving coupled heat/mass transfer with radiation.
