) combines the Heat Transfer in Solids interface with the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface. It includes all functionality to model heat transfer in fluids or solids, including conduction and convection with surface-to-surface radiation. The surface-to-surface radiation model also accounts for the dependency of surface properties on the spectral bands. For example, to model the greenhouse effect, it is necessary to solve separately for ambient radiation (large wavelengths) and the sun’s radiation (small wavelengths). In addition, specular reflection can be considered instead of diffuse reflection. This is of particular interest for glossy surfaces made of polished aluminum or silver for example. Finally semitransparent layers can be modeled for configuration where a fraction of the radiation is going through a layer while the rest is reflected.
) combines the Heat Transfer in Solids interface with the Orbital Thermal Loads interface. It is used to model heat transfer including conduction in solid parts and radiative loads on spacecraft, in particular radiation from the Sun and the Earth for satellites orbiting around Earth.
) combines the Heat Transfer in Solids interface with the Radiation in Participating Media interface. It includes all functionality to model conduction and convection in solids and fluids with radiation where absorption, emission, and scattering of radiation is accounted for by the radiation model.
) combines the Heat Transfer in Solids interface with the Radiation in Absorbing-Scattering Media interface. For example, emission may be neglected when considering light diffusion.
) combines the Heat Transfer in Solids interface with the Radiative Beam in Absorbing Media interface.
