The S4 discrete-ordinates approximation is used to solve the radiative transfer equation in nonasymmetric (i.e., three-dimensional) cylindrical enclosures containing absorbing-emitting and scattering media, with and without the temperature profile known a priori. Because neither detailed experimental data nor predictions from a zone or Monte-Carlo model for three-dimensional cylindrical enclosures are available, cylindrical equivalents of three-dimensional rectangular enclosures, for which zone model predictions of radiative transfer are available, are used in model evaluation. Limited evaluation of the model shows that the discrete-ordinates method provides acceptable predictions of radiative transfer in nonaxisymmetric cylindrical enclosures. 12 refs.
