Type of article: Article

Summary

A matrix model of radiative transfer is presented. Beginning with the radiative properties of a medium, two characteristic matrices representing the transmissive and reflective contributions to energy transfer are written and the intensity distribution is then calculated numerically. Applications to pure radiative transfer and combined transfer with conduction are presented. A case of a material composed of silica fibres is discussed, showing that the model is in good agreement with experimental results. Since no simplifying hypotheses concerning the properties of the medium are incorporated into the model, it can be used to study any fibrous medium.
