Numerical Computation of Diffuse View Factor Between Planar Surfac

This document presents a numerical method for computing diffuse view factors between planar surfaces. It begins by defining view factors and their importance in radiation heat transfer calculations. It then outlines the objective to develop an algorithm using numerical integration techniques like Gaussian quadrature to calculate view factors for planar polygons and disks. The methodology section describes using contour integration and parametric line equations to convert the double area integral into a line integral that is solved using MATLAB. Results are shown for several example geometries and compared to analytical solutions, demonstrating the method's accuracy.

VIEW FACTOR
Effects of orientation on radiation heat transfer between two
surfaces.

Purely geometric quantity

Also called the shape factor, configuration factor, and angle


factor.

Diffuse view factor

MOTIVATION
Most textbooks on radiation present a table of formulae to
calculate diffuse view factors for a large number of scenarios.

A great collection given by Howell (1982), and Siegel & Howell


(2001).

Analytical solutions for a restricted number of simple


configurations.

Complex shapes in practical engineering

Not necessarily fit any of the scenarios available through


catalogs.
OBJECTIVE
