Meshless method for solving coupled radiative and conductive heat transfer in complex multi-dimensional geometries
A meshless method DAM is employed to solve the coupled radiative and conductive heat transfer problem in a semi-transparent medium enclosed in complex 2D and 3D geometries. The meshless method for radiative transfer is based on the even parity formulation of the discrete ordinates method. Cases of combined conduction–radiation are presented and the results are compared with other benchmark approximate solutions.
