Diffusion approximation of the radiative-conductive heat transfer model with Fresnel matching conditions

The paper is concerned with a problem of diffraction type. The study starts with equations of complex (radiative and conductive) heat transfer in a multicomponent domain with Fresnel matching conditions at the interfaces. Applying the diffusion, P-1, approximation yields a pair of coupled nonlinear PDEs describing the radiation intensity and temperature for each component of the domain. Matching conditions for these PDEs, imposed at the interfaces between the domain components, are derived. The unique solvability of the obtained problem is proven, and numerical experiments are conducted. (c) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.     «
