Determination of high-temperature radiative properties of porous silica by combined image analysis, infrared spectroscopy and numerical simulation
摘要： The influence of the texture of fused silica glasses ? containing unconnected spherical bubbles ? on their thermal radiative properties was investigated by combining experimental measurements and numerical simulations. Exact numerical replicas of the porous samples were obtained from X-ray microtomography and image analysis showed that their bubble populations include two lognormal distributions of radii. The complex refractive index of the silica matrix was extracted from emittance measurements acquired at 1200 K on two reference silica samples. The comparison between direct measurements of the normal spectral emittance of the porous samples and those generated by applying Monte-Carlo ray tracing, performed on the numerical replicas, validated the use of geometric optics. The OH content of the porous samples was evaluated to be around 210 ppm. Ray tracing simulations carried out on a set of virtual samples having a similar texture proved to be a flexible means to address experimental limits when characterizing semi-transparent materials. The simulations also provided a natural framework to test the ability of the modified two-flux approximation model to predict the thermal radiative response of the porous silica investigated.

An unstructured Monte Carlo ray-tracing method for solving radiative heat transfer in 3D gray semitransparent medium
摘要： Monte Carlo ray-tracing method (MCRTM) is widely used for solving the Radiative Transfer equation (RTE) due to its high accuracy and flexibility. In this paper, a MCRTM is developed for solving the radiative heat transfer in gray semitransparent media with complex geometries which are discretized by 3D unstructured grids. A novel algorithm associated to unstructured four-node tetrahedron element is proposed for generating random emitting positions of rays, and the ray tracing process is performed based on Beer's law. Meanwhile, radiation distribution factors are used for calculating radiative source terms which are loaded to the grid. The present method is first validated by comparing the predictive results with those from previous studies on a cubic enclosure, a 3D L-shaped enclosure, and a 3D elliptical enclosure, respectively. Furthermore, a radiation-conduction heat transfer problem is examined in a cylindrical enclosure. All the comparisons show that the present method is in good agreement with these previous cases. This method can be well adapted to various complex geometries. In addition, since the source term is calculated by the radiation distribution factor, which can be reused for different conditions as long as the volumetric radiative properties remain unchanged, this will bring great advantage when coupled with other heat transfer models such as conduction, convection, combustion, etc.

Effect of the Orientation Schemes of the Energy Collection Element on the Optical Performance of a Parabolic Trough Concentrating Collector
摘要： While the circular shape is currently the proven optimum design of the energy collection element (ECE) of a parabolic trough collector, that is yet to be confirmed for parabolic trough concentrating collectors (PTCCs) like trough concentrating photovoltaic collectors and hybrid photovoltaic/thermal collectors. Orientation scheme of the ECE is expected to have significant effect on the optical performance including the irradiance distribution around the ECE and the optical efficiency, and therefore, on the overall energy performance of the PTCC. However, little progress addressing this issue has been reported in the literature. In this study, a thorough investigation has been conducted to determine the effect of the orientation schemes of ECE on the optical performance of a PTCC applying a state-of-the-art Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) technique. The orientation schemes considered are a flat rectangular target and a hollow circular, semi-circular, triangular, inverted triangular, rectangular and rectangle on semi-circle (RSc). The effect of ECE defocus, Sun tracking error and trough rim angle on the optical performance is also investigated. The MCRT study reveals that the ECE orientation schemes with a curved surface at the trough end showed much higher optical efficiency than those with a linear surface under ideal conditions. ECEs among the linear surface group, the inverted triangular orientation exhibited the highest optical efficiency, whereas the flat and triangular ones exhibited the lowest optical efficiency, and the rectangular one was in between them. In the event of defocus and tracking errors, a significant portion of the concentrated light was observed to be intercepted by the surfaces of the rectangular and RSc ECEs that are perpendicular to the trough aperture. This is an extended version of a published work by the current authors, which will help to design an optically efficient ECE for a parabolic trough concentrating collector.

[IEEE 2019 18th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN) - Huangshan, China (2019.8.5-2019.8.8)] 2019 18th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN) - Error Analysis of the Impulse Response on VCSEL-based Optical Wireless Communication Channel Using a Monte Carlo Ray-Tracing Algorithm
摘要： This article proposed a Monte Carlo ray-tracing method (MCRM) based on Gaussian beam emitter for optical wireless communication (OWC) channel estimation and established two typical indoor communication systems as uplink and full-link models. Formulas are given with targeted parameters for these two specific link models. The calculation results show that the impulse response of uplink models have twice larger and 10 ns faster than that of full-link models. Compared with the conventional Lambertian OWC systems, the Gaussian systems have larger impulse response and lower relative error, which indicates that Gaussian emitter is a promising candidate for indoor OWC system.

[IEEE 2018 11th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing (CSNDSP) - Budapest (2018.7.18-2018.7.20)] 2018 11th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Signal Processing (CSNDSP) - Spatial Interpolation of Optical Wireless Impulse Responses
摘要： In this paper, spatial interpolation is proposed as a time-saving technique for the estimation of the different Optical Wireless Impulse Responses which result from the nodes’ position changes in the mobility modeling of wireless optical communications. Typically, in this kind of analysis, the time-dependent impulse response is calculated numerically at each point of the path. However, this approach may result prohibitive due to the computation time. In this work, a support domain distributed on the moving area is defined, and accurate impulse responses for the domain’s points are obtained using a Monte Carlo Ray Tracing algorithm. Then, using this support, Lagrange interpolation method is applied for quick calculation out-of-the-support positions’ impulse responses. In this way, the impulse response for those points included in nodes’ path can be obtained without a high time and computational cost. The Lagrange interpolants were essayed with successful results, suggesting that the proposed technique may become relevant in upcoming statistical modeling in mobility situations.

Forward projection matrix derivation through Monte-Carlo ray-tracing of KSTAR infra-red imaging video bolometer (IRVB)
摘要： The infrared imaging video bolometer (IRVB) as a foil bolometry technique can be an alternative solution to the conventional resistive bolometer due to its electro-magnetic immunity and 2D plasma profiles. The plasma profile of the IRVB cannot be directly derived from the foil images due to the difference between the foil pixel number and the plasma pixel number and the line integrated nature of the incident rays on the foil. So, it needs tomography such as the Phillips-Thikhonov algorithm. The projection matrix constructing the foil image from the plasma very directly influences the tomography. So, the projection matrix needs to be constructed precisely. For the technique calculating the precise projection matrix, a forward Monte-Carlo ray-tracing method is proposed here, and this technique can provide the detailed descriptions of the foil image. And it can give enhanced performance in the reconstructions of the plasmas with spatially localized power.
