Abstract
This work presents a parallel Monte Carlo algorithm for the calculation of combined radiative and conductive heat transfer. The proposed formulation effectively separates the time-consuming ray-tracing part of the Monte Carlo method from the energy computations required in the iterative solution of the energy equation. The method is applied for a simple combined radiative and conductive heat transfer problem and excellent agreement with the benchmark results is found. The ray-tracing part of the algorithm is parallelised and applied in two configurations, which represent the opposite ends of the currently available parallel computer architectures; a PC cluster and the Hitachi SR8000-F1 supercomputer. For sufficiently large sampling sets, the measurements show an almost ideal speedup.
