“…To repair this, we wrote a user-defined function to restrict the fluence rate only within the irradiated zone (Z ¼ 2.13e2.85 m) after import. The effect of fluence rate modeling representation on the predictions of UVGI efficiency was studied by Heidarinejad and Srebric [18], who found that a manual, multi-volume segregation of the fluence rate was sufficiently accurate. The direct import, used here, offers better detail and saves the effort for manually partitioning the irradiated zone.…”
