Since its initial development as a specialty technique for modeling neutron transport in fissile
materials almost 80 years ago, the Monte Carlo method has since been deployed in almost …

Modeling thermal radiation in combustion environments can be extremely challenging for
two main reasons. First, the radiative transfer equation (RTE), which is the cornerstone of …

Ultrafine and highly light absorbing soot particles have been known to be harmful to human
health and a major climate forcer. Understanding the mechanisms of soot formation and …

Radiative heat transfer (RHT) is often the dominant mode of heat transfer in flames, fires,
and combustion systems and affects significantly temperature distributions directly and …

In this study, we systematically compared the accuracy and computational cost of two
popular solution methods for the radiative transfer equation (RTE): the spherical harmonics …

In engineering practice, the parameters affecting the output of a photovoltaic cell such as its
irradiation intensity, surface temperature, current temperature coefficient, series resistance …

In this work we investigate replacing standard quadrature techniques used in deterministic
linear solvers with a fixed-seed Quasi–Monte Carlo (QMC) calculation to obtain more …

Thermal radiation is a crucial mode of heat transfer in the industrial furnace. The present
article compares various radiative heat transfer models for non-gray gases environments …

Abstract The Monte-Carlo simulation of radiative heat transfer is known to be very accurate.
Its convergence can be significantly improved using Randomized Quasi-Monte-Carlo …

In this work, an approximate analytical solution (AS) is presented to evaluate the radiative
thermal exchange through a gaseous participating medium composed of H2O, CO2, and …
