Monte Carlo Method: Thermal Radiation

This lecture covers the Monte Carlo method for thermal radiation, explaining how radiative energy and power are calculated using discrete energy bundles. It delves into radiative flux, surface absorption/reflection relations, and the computation of view factors. The lecture also discusses the computation of radiative exchange, including analytical solutions and the use of generic rays. Various techniques for computing radiative exchange, such as parallel computing and accuracy considerations, are explored in the context of surface radiative exchange.
