GEOMETRIC OPTIMIZATION OF RADIATIVE ENCLOSURES THROUGH NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING

This article introduces a methodology for designing the geometry of diffuse-walled radiant enclosures through nonlinear programming. In this application, the enclosure is represented parametrically using B-spline curves, while the radiosity distribution is solved by infinitesimal-area analysis. The...
