Three-dimensional non-grey gas radiation analyses were conducted using the statistical narrow-band model along with up-dated band parameters. The exact narrow-band averaged radiative transfer equation was solved using a ray-tracing method. Accurate numerical results were presented for non-grey real gas radiative transfer in a three-dimensional rectangular enclosure containing (i) an isothermal pure water vapor at 1000 K and 1 atm, (ii) an isothermal and inhomogeneous H2O/N2 mixture at 1000 K and 1 atm, and (iii) a nonisothermal and homogeneous mixture of CO2/H2O/N2 at 1 atm.

Abstract Nongray gas radiation calculations are conducted for four three-dimensional benchmarks using line-by-line (LBL) integration with the up-to-date high-resolution spectroscopic database HITEMP 2010. The radiative transfer equation (RTE) is solved using the finite volume method (FVM) over each wavenumber interval of the spectrum. A detailed mesh quality analysis assured the mesh independence of the solution. Accurate results for distributions of volumetric radiative heat source term and wall radiative heat flux are provided for four cases: (i) an isothermal pure water vapor medium at 1000 K; (ii) an isothermal and nonhomogeneous H2O–N2 mixture at 1000 K; (iii) a nonisothermal and homogeneous CO2–H2O–N2 mixture; and (iv) a nonisothermal and nonhomogeneous CO2–H2O–N2 mixture. These data can be useful to assess the accuracy of gas radiative property models.

The Monte Carlo method (MCM) is applied to analyze radiative heat transfer in nongray gases. The nongray model employed is based on the statistical narrow band model with an exponential-tailed inverse intensity distribution. The amount and transfer of the emitted radiative energy in a finite volume element within a medium are considered in an exact manner. The spectral correlation between transmittances of two different segments of the same path in a medium makes the statistical relationship different from the conventional relationship that only provides the noncorrelated results for nongray analysis. Two features of the MCM that are different from other nongray numerical methods are discussed. The simplicity of the MCM is demonstrated by considering the case of radiative transfer between two reflecting walls. The results for the radiative dissipation distributions and the net radiative wall heat fluxes are obtained for uniform, parabolic, and boundary layer type temperature profiles, as well as for a parabolic concentration profile. They are compared with available results of other methods. Good agreements are found for all the cases considered.
