Radiation Heat Transfer Modelling with Computational Fluid Dynamics - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book serves as a preliminary reference for the principles of thermal radiation and its modelling in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

covers strategies and processes for synthesizing radiation with CFD setups, computational techniques for solving the radiative transfer equation, the strengths and weaknesses thereof, boundary and initial conditions and relevant guidelines. Describing the strategic planning of a typical project, the book includes the spectroscopic properties of gases, some particulates and porous media.

• Fills a gap between existing CFD and thermal radiation textbooks and elaborates on some aspects of user manuals.
• Aims at (1) CFD practitioners who are newcomers to thermal radiation and are looking for a preliminary introduction thereon and (2) modellers familiar with thermal radiation looking for a precursory introduction to CFD. The book is tilted somewhat towards the first group.
• Provides guidelines for choosing the right model, the strategic planning of the modelling and its implementation.
• Outlines the pitfalls of some solution techniques.
• Describes how radiation is included in the variety of boundary condition types offered by CFD codes.
• Helps to develop the practical skills required to plan, implement and interpret thermal radiation within the typical CFD code.
• Addresses a wide variety of physical circumstances in which thermal radiation plays a role.
• Offers ample references for readers searching for additional details.
• Includes several examples of practical applications, including fire, a utility boiler and car headlights in cold environments.

This book is intended for researchers and professionals who wish to simulate problems that involve fluid flow and heat transfer with thermal radiation.
