Steps to radiation model in cfd

sara10 · August 8, 2011, 05:13

Hi I'm new here and i am a student new to cfd.
I am trying to design a solar model on cfd and I am wondering how to use the radiation model for it.
Does anyone know what radiation equation will be used here?
only the k- epsilon or some other?

Hi,
your method is not clear. You want to write a program to do this or use a CFD software? However k-epsilon is for turbulent model. in solar model you usually need also a heat transfer model. I suggest you to read a CFD software methodology to know more about details.
