Abstract

A radiative heat transfer module is developed for use in the National Combustion Code (NCC), an unstructured-grid combustion code currently under development at the NASA Glean Research Center. Previous work validated the spectral discretization used to solve the radiative transport equation (RTE), accounting for the gaseous species H2O, CO2, and CO, and allowing for nongray surface and particulate properties. The Finite Volume Method (FVM) used for spatial and directional discretization of the RTS is described here for unstructured grids with general symmetry, periodic or wall boundary conditions. The unstructured-grid FVM solver is validated for general symmetry boundary conditions, and two-dimensional and three-dimensional combustor type geometries.
