Abstract
In the last two decades considerable Progress has been made in numerical modeling of isothermal and non-isothermal cavities by the Monte Carlo method, in particular, by the use of the uniform specular-diffuse reflection model and backward ray tracing techniques. However, this technique has no essential theoretical foundation. In the present paper the comparative numerical analysis of forward and backward ray tracing algorithms is performed. Numerical experiments show that the'use of uniform specular-diffuse reflection model, which obeys the reciprocity principle lead to excellent agreement between effective emissivities, computed by forward and backward ray tracing. At the same time, results obtained for non-reciprocal Phong's model demonstrate substantial discrepancies.
