The seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of
thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative …

Radiative heat transfer is the focus of many studies on heat transfer issues in the built
environment, and the view factor (VF) between the surfaces of built objects in space is a …

View factor calculation is an element of vital importance in radiation heat transfer. In
engineering practice, it is common to find a radiant exchange between more complex …

A hybrid Monte-Carlo method (MC_H) is extended to calculate view factors for a system. The
test case considered is a cylindrical shell. The MC_H has many advantages over the …

Fuel ignition potential is one of the primary drivers influencing the extent of damage in
wildland and wildland–urban interface fires and it is a decisive factor in planning prescribed …

This paper demonstrates that the well-known method for calculating view factors, the Monte
Carlo method, combined with ray tracing is not necessarily the most efficient strategy. The …

This paper presents an algorithm that calculates the radiative view factors based on Stokes'
theorem. The authors propose a formulation where the original surfaces are divided into a …

An analytic expression is derived for the radiation view factor between two arbitrarily
oriented planar triangles and, by a simple generalization, planar polygons. Unlike most …

View factor plays an important role in evaluation of radiative heat transfer. This paper gives a
detailed account of setting up the Monte Carlo calculation models of view factors between …

Recent years have seen the emerging of application of origami in many areas. The
extended surface enabled by origami structures apparently has great potential to be …
