The zonal method is combined with the Monte Carlo (MC) method to yield the zonal-MC method, a new numerical approach for the analysis of radiative heat transfer in multidimensional absorbing/scattering media. The method is shown to have computational advantages over the stand-alone zonal method. The zonal-MC method can also be combined with ray-tracing to simulate the penetration of a collimated beam in an absorbing/scattering medium. Numerical data are generated for radiative transfer in a cubical enclosure with an absorbing/scattering medium to illustrate the method’s accuracy and computational efficiency.

Zonal-Monte-Carlo方法，多维辐射传热的有效解决方法

区域方法与蒙特卡洛（MC）方法相结合产生了区域方法，这是一种用于分析多维吸收/散射介质中辐射传热的新数值方法。与独立的区域方法相比，该方法具有计算优势。zonal-MC方法也可以与射线跟踪相结合，以模拟准直光束在吸收/散射介质中的穿透。生成了数值数据，用于在具有吸收/散射介质的立方外壳中进行辐射传递，以说明该方法的准确性和计算效率。
