Detailed Description

View factors are calculated based on a face agglomeration array (finalAgglom generated by faceAgglomerate utility).

Original source file viewFactorsGen.C

Each view factor between the agglomerated faces i and j (Fij) is calculated using a double integral of the sub-areas composing the agglomeration.

The patches involved in the view factor calculation are taken from the boundary file and should be part on the group viewFactorWall. ie.:

floor { type wall; inGroups 2(wall viewFactorWall); nFaces 100; startFace 3100; }
