Comments
- The radiation
flux is calculated using:
(1) Where,- T
- Temperature of the surface (surf_IDT) which absorbs thermal radiation
- The Stefan-Boltzmann constant
(2) Since is a constant which depends on the units, the unit system must be set correctly in /BEGIN and in the optional unit_ID which is used by the radiative flux block.
- Thermal radiation is only compatible with the finite element formulation for heat transfer.
- /RADIATION is not compatible with ALE applications (/ALE, /EULER). Thermal radiation will not be applied to ALE nodes or ALE elements.
