Abstract

This paper presents a procedure to model radiative transfer in irregular geometries using a Cartesian-coordinates-based discrete-ordinates method. Straight-edged, inclined and curved boundaries can be treated. It is capable of handling participating or transparent media enclosed by black or reflecting walls. With this procedure, irregular geometries can be specified through the problem specification portion of the program. Two test problems are used to demonstrate the capability of the procedure. An actual FORTRAN implementation is shown in Appendix 1.
