Monte Carlo Simulation of Radiation in Gases With a Narrow-Band Model and a Net-Exchange Formulation

The Monte Carlo method is used for simulation of radiative heat transfers in nongray gases. The proposed procedure is based on a Net-Exchange Formulation (NEF). Such a formulation provides an efficient way of systematically fulfilling the reciprocity principle, which avoids some of the major problems usually associated with the Monte Carlo method : Numerical efficiency becomes independent of optical thickness, strongly nonuniform grid sizes can be used with no increase in computation time, and configurations with small temperature differences can be addressed with very good accuracy. The Exchange Monte Carlo Method (EMCM) is detailed for a one-dimensional slab with diffusely or specularly reflecting surfaces.
