Abstract

The paper presents a neural-network based zonal method (RADNNET-ZM) for the analysis of radiative heat transfer in an arbitrary Cartesian enclosure with an isothermal, inhomogeneous, non-gray medium. The model accounts for the non-gray effect of absorbing species in a combustion environment and the geometric effect of any three-dimensional enclosures. The model is verified against benchmark solutions. Maximum local error is observed to be less than 4 %. Prediction accuracy of an existing zonal radiation solver is assessed. Results demonstrate that RADNNET-ZM can provide substantial improvement to zone fire simulation models for the prediction of radiative heat transfer without a significant increase in computation cost.
