25.3.2. Using Radiative Correction

Using the Rosseland correction requires a modification of Dirichlet temperature boundary conditions along the walls. Note that the correction only makes sense on the parts of the boundary along which you want to prescribe a temperature. No special action is needed along walls where a heat flux is imposed.


Important:  Do not apply the Rosseland correction on the boundaries of a domain in which an internal radiation sub-task is defined.


All of the inputs for the radiative correction are entered within the thermal boundary condition specification.

  Thermal boundary conditions

  1. Along a wall where you want to impose a temperature, select Rosseland Correction instead of Temperature imposed.

  2. Specify the wall temperature (described in Theory).

  3. Specify the refraction index ( in Equation 25–3 and Equation 25–5).

  4. Specify the average absorption coefficient ( in Equation 25–5).

  5. Specify the Fourier conductivity ( in Equation 25–3 and Equation 25–5).

  6. Specify the relative emissivity of the wall ( in Equation 25–5).
