“…Among others, there is the ®nite-volume method (FVM) for radiation [1,2] which has been successfully applied to several problems of body-®tted geometries [3,4]. In the meanwhile, the discrete ordinates method (DOM) was also extended to handle a body-®tted geometry, and its computational accuracy has been discussed [5]. Since the spatial domain is divided into a ®nite number of control volumes in the DOM and FVM, these methods have a computational compatibility with other controlvolume based CFD approaches.…”
