Numerical modeling of complex radiative heat transfer by N. I. Moskalenko, L. V. Rodionov, M. S. Khamidullina, I. A. Afanasyev

“…The application of numerical simulation of the fine structure of the absorption and emission in the complex problems of radiative heat transfer is consider when the structural characteristics of the environment and the boundary conditions are different strong inhomogeneities in temperature, chemical composition and distribution of the radiation sources. The very nature of radiative heat transfer and temperature variation trends over time are determined by the acute effects of selection of the spectra and their modeling require knowledge of spectral line parameters: intensity, half-width position of the centers, contours. …”
