Abstract
Radiative heat transfer plays a major role in the analysis of glazing behavior in fires, but its rigorous modeling has received little attention. In the present study, a spectral radiative heat transfer model, based on the discrete ordinates method (DOM), is developed and employed to analyze heat transfer and the transient temperature distribution in a glazing structure subjected to fire heat flux. Comparisons are made between model predictions and literature experimental data; acceptable agreements are found. The study also investigates the influence of the glass properties and geometry on the temperature and time to breakage.
