Introduction

Network Radiation allows the user to define the radiation network in the model.

Description

  • This approach activates ElectroFlos Thermal Radiation coupled solution, by providing a network of participating surfaces.
  • The user selects bodies to be included in the radiation model and their corresponding surface emissivity.
  • Multiple BCs may be used to group surfaces with different emissivity values in the model. They will all be merged together to form the radiation surface matrix.
  • The solver will automatically determine participating radiation surfaces and calculates the viewfactor matrix.
