Finite volume radiative heat transfer procedure for irregular geometries

A finite volume method for irregular geometries is presented in this article. The capability of the procedure is tested using five test problems. In these tests, transparent, absorbing, emitting, and anisotropically scattering media are examined. The solutions indicate that the finite volume method is a viable solution procedure for radiative heat transfer processes.
