Abstract
The use of the finite-volume method for predicting radiation heat transfer in a participating medium has gained some popularity because it fits well with modern finite-volume methods of computation fluid dynamics. This article consists of three parts: the rationale underlying the finite-volume method is discussed, a comparison of the finite-volume and discrete ordinates methods is presented, and results obtained by application of the method to several problems (two of which might serve as benchmark problems) are reported.
