摘要
This article deals with the analysis of radiative transport with and without conduction in a finite concentric cylindrical enclosure containing absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium. Isothermal medium as the radiation source confined between the cold cylinders and a nonisothermal medium with the inner cylinder as the radiation source are the two nonradiative and radiative equilibrium problems. They involve only calculation of radiative information. In the third problem, a conducting-radiating medium is thermally perturbed by raising the temperature of the inner cylinder. In all problems, radiative information is computed using the modified discrete ordinate method (MDOM), and in the third problem, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to formulate and solve the energy equation. Depending on the problems, effects of various parameters such as the extinction coefficient, the scattering albedo, the boundary emissivity, the conduction-radiation parameter, and the radius ratio are studied on temperature and heat flux distributions. The MDOM and the LBM-MDOM results are compared with those available in the literature. To further establish the accuracy of the MDOM and the LBM-MDOM results, in all problems, comparisons are made with the results obtained from the finite volume method (FVM) and the finite difference method-FVM approach, in which FVM provides the radiative information. The selection of the FDM-FVM for the third problem is also with the objective that for this problem, not much work is reported in which the FVM is used to calculate the radiative information. MDOM and LBM-MDOM results are found to compare well with those available in the literature, and in all cases they are in excellent agreement with FVM and FDM-FVM approaches.
