Abstract

A numerical method is developed, using the Monte Carlo method, for radiative heat-transfer analysis within systems with arbitrary shapes. Triangles with arbitrary sizes and shapes are used as the elements for two-dimensional numerical analysis. For three-dimensional analysis, tetrahedra of arbitrary sizes and shapes are used. The gas and the wall are assumed to be gray, and enthalpy transport by convection can be considered simultaneously. The method was proven to give almost the same results with the previously used program with orthogonal mesh division.
