Abstract

A diffuse approximation meshless method (DAM) is employed to solve the transient radiative and conductive heat transfer problem in a semitransparent medium enclosed in 2-D complex geometries. The computational spatial domain is discretized by a set of nodes scattered in the domain and boundary without information on the relationship between them. The meshless method for radiative transfer equation is based on the even-parity formulation of the discrete ordinates method without any form of upwinding. Results of dimensionless temperature distribution at different dimensionless times are obtained and validated with other benchmark approximate solutions in order to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
