Radiative heat transfer in 2D Dirac materials.

We compute the radiative heat transfer between two sheets of 2D Dirac materials, including topological Chern insulators and graphene, within the framework of the local approximation for the optical response of these materials. In this approximation, which neglects spatial dispersion, we derive both numerically and analytically the short-distance asymptotic of the near-field heat transfer in the...

On Coupled Conductive-radiative Heat-transfer Problems in a Sphere

-A sphere-to-plane transformation technique and the spherical harmonics method are used, along with Hermite cubic splines, to define an iterative technique for solving a class of nonlinear radiative transfer problems in a sphere. Computational aspects of the technique are discussed, and the method is used to establish numerical results for several test problems. 1. I N T R O D U C T I O N In a ...

Optimization Iterative Procedure for Radiative-Conductive Heat Transfer Model

A boundary optimal control problem for radiative-conductive heat transfer model in a layered medium is considered. The problem consists in minimization of a given cost functional by controlling the boundary temperature. The solvability of this control problem is proved, and optimality conditions are derived. An iteration algorithm is proposed, and numerical experiments are performed.
