In this article a spectrally resolved solution of the integrated radiative transfer equation for the discrete transfer method with linear temperature interpolation is presented. Combined with the discrete ordinate method, the radiative heat fluxes are determined for use in the finite-volume energy equation. The spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient is approximated as a series of bands of constant value and scattering is neglected. The method is shown to be computationally efficient when applied to a course mesh typical for conduction problems and at the same time to be accurate for both optically thin and thick media, including semitransparent media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
