Computational Thermal Radiation in Participating Media V

Eurotherm seminar #105

April 1-3, 2015, ALBI, France

Following the conferences held in Mons (2003), Poitiers (2006), Lisbon (2009) and Nancy (2012), CTRPM5 will be the fifth edition of a now well established series of seminars devoted to numerical methods in radiative transfer through participating media. Language The seminar official language will be English.

Venue

CTRPM5 is hosted by Mines Albi which is a French Grande ecole training multi-disciplinary engineers and doctors in Engineering Sciences. Website Information about the conference can be found at: http://ctrpm5.wp.mines-telecom.fr More information about Albi can be found at: http://www.albi-tourisme.fr/us/

The series of EUROTHERM Seminars established by the Committee has become a popular forum for high-level scientific and technical interchange of ideas in a wide range of specialist topics. While the presentation and publication of papers at the Seminars are encouraged, the primary aim is to stimulate discussion and liaison between specialist groups. The President of EUROTHERM in 2014-2018 is Prof. Paulo Di Marco. Information on future SEMINARS is available from the Secretary, Prof. Janus Szmyd, AGH University Of Science And Technology In Krakow. For more information, see: www.eurothermcommittee.eu

This seminar will present the state of the art and the modern trends in computational radiative

transfer in participating media. It will focus on novel and improved solution techniques as well as

on their applications to actual engineering problems. The main topics of the seminar will be:

• New developments for the solution of Radiative Transfer Equation.

• Monte-Carlo methods and coupling of MC with other techniques.

• Radiative transfer in complex geometries and/or optically complex media.

• Radiative transfer problems at micro and nanoscales.

• Turbulence-radiation interactions.

• Inverse methods in radiative transfer.

• Gas and plasma radiation modelling.

• Radiative properties of particles, agglomerates and disperse systems.

• Coupled heat transfer problems involving radiative effects.

• Applications to combustion systems, fire safety, high temperature heat exchangers, glass manufacturing,

Furnaces, and high temperature thermal protection devices. - Radiation in biological systems.

• Photoreactive processes

• Radiative transfer for medical applications.

• Radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres and oceans

Standard-format sessions will be complemented by two brief open-views on Plasma physics and Radiation in exo-planetary atmospheres.
