The Radiation in Participating Media (rpm) interface (
), found under the
Heat Transfer>Radiation branch (
), is used to model radiative heat transfer inside participating (semi-transparent media) media.
When the physics interface is added, these default nodes are added to the Model Builder:
Participating Medium and
Opaque Surface. In addition, when
Discrete ordinates method is selected,
Continuity on Interior Boundary is also added.
Right-click the main node to add boundary conditions or other features. Then, from the
Physics toolbar, add other nodes that implement, for example, boundary conditions. You can also right-click
Radiation in Participating Media node to select physics features from the context menu.
