Abstract
This work is concerned with the transient radiative transport in inhomogeneous two- or three-dimensional semitransparent graded-index media with irregular geometry. The lattice Boltzmann method is applied to the graded-index media mapped with non-orthogonal grids to solve the radiative transfer while the finite volume method expresses the angular processing. The solution of the transient radiation from the methodology developed is firstly validated with good accuracy by considering benchmark solutions available in the literature for comparisons for various forms of geometry including a cube, elliptic cylinder as well as irregular shapes. Afterwards, the solver is used to analyze the radiative transfer in graded-index media including regular and irregular geometries, and various governing parameters such as laser and optical properties, scattering laws, incident angle of the incoming beam, refractive index, and temperature distributions. Suitable calculations of the transient radiometric heat flux and incident energy help to evaluate the time-resolved reflectance and transmittance. The results from this study indicate that the present methodology and boundary treatments are simple and suitable to deal with multidimensional radiative transfer in irregular domains.
