Notes:
A new Monte Carlo method is developed to analyse multi-dimensional radiative heat transfer in an enclosure containing grey gas with anisotropically scattering grey particles. One set of variables, called READ (Radiative Energy Absorption Distribution), is introduced to represent radiative transfer, thus appreciably reducing repeated computations required by the conventional Monte Carlo technique. A 1 m × 1 m square duct is used as the enclosure with the upper and lower walls at different temperatures in the one-dimensional case and with adiabatic specular or diffuse side walls in the two-dimensional case. Results agree well with the existing analytical solutions for one-dimensional, non-scattering cases. It is concluded that, with anisotropic scattering, an increase in the absorption coefficient and/or single scattering albedo produces adverse effects on radiative heat transfer. Anisotropic scattering effects cannot be simulated by the use of the effective absorption coefficient.
