Abstract
The finite-volume method has been shown to effectively predict radiant exchange in geometrically simple enclosures where the medium is gray, absorbing, emitting, and scattering. Cartesian and circular cylindrical meshes have always been used. The present article shows that the method applies equally well to geometrically complex enclosures where nonorthogonal, boundary-fitted meshes are used. This development permits radiant heat transfer to be computed on the same mesh employed to solve the equations of fluid motion.Keywords
