Discrete dipole model of radiative transfer in dense granular layers

چکیده
We have developed a numerical Regolith Radiative Transfer (RRT) model based on the Discrete-Dipole Approximation (DDA), which iteratively solves the exact wave equations for a granular target in response to an incident plane wave and mutual interactions between all component grains. We extend the traditional DDA approach in two ways: the DDA target is laterally replicated using periodic boundary conditions, to represent a small piece of a nominally flat granular particle surface, and the emergent intensity is sampled in the near field of the target to avoid diffraction-like artifacts arising from its finite size. The approach is applicable in regimes for which the assumptions of current RRT models are invalid, such as wavelength-size particles which are closely packed. In this first paper we describe the technique and present tests and illustrative results for simple cases, using layers of varying filling fraction between 0.01 and 0.7, containing nominally spherical monomers of uniform composition (SiO2). We motivate the results with a simple “toy model” of scattering by a target with multiple interfaces. The model is easily extended to layers of particles which are heterogeneous in composition and arbitrarily shaped. c © 2012 Optical Society of America

Radiative heat transfer: many-body effects
Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...
متن کاملHeat Transfer Characteristics of Porous Radiant Burners Using Discrete-Ordinate Method (S2-Approximation)
This paper describes a theoretical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of porous radiant burners. A one dimensional model is used to solve the governing equations for porous medium and gas flow before the premixed flame to the exhaust gas. Combustion in the porous medium is modeled as a spatially dependent heat generation zone. The homogeneous porous media, in addition to its...

Abstract: The present study deals the theoretical modeling aspects of coupled conductive and radiative heat transfer in the presence of absorbing, emitting and scattering gray medium within two-dimensional square furnace including two flames. The gray radiative medium is bounded by isothermal walls which are considered to be opaque, diffuse and gray. The well known discrete ordinate method (DOM...
متن کاملEvaluation of Eulerian Two-Fluid Numerical Method for the Simulation of Heat Transfer in Fluidized Beds
Accurate modeling of fluidization and heat transfer phenomena in gas-solid fluidized beds is not solely dependent on the particular selected numerical model and involved algorithms. In fact, choosing the right model for each specific operating condition, the correct implementation of each model, and the right choice of parameters and boundary conditions, determine the accuracy of the results i...

A numerical simulation of reactive swirling methane/air non-premixed flame in a new three-dimensional model combustion chamber is carried out to assess the performance of two thermal radiation models, namely, the Discrete Transfer Radiation Model and the P-1 Model. A Finite Volume staggered grid approach is employed to solve the governing equations.The second-order upwind scheme is applied for...
