Abstract

A spatial-multiblock procedure for radiation heat transfer is presented in this article. The proposed procedure i.s applicable to isothermal or nonisothermal, absorbing, emitting and scattering or transparent media with black or retlecting walls. Although not shown in this article, the procedure is also applicable to nongray conditions. Tlie proposed procedure can be used with the discrete ordinates method and the finite volume method. The heat transferrate, net radiant power and other full-range and half-range moments are conserved betweeti spatial blocks by the proposed procedure. Tire utilities of the proposed procedure are shown using four sample problems. The solutions indicate that the multiblock procedure can reproduce the results of a single-block procedure even when very coarse spatial grid.s are used in the multiblock procedure.
