Attila is a state-of-the-art radiation transport based code that is efficient, accurate and straightforward to use. Geometric information is input to the code as CAD drawings. Material property information is input as a cross section library. The user has full control over standard transport options and output reports.

A two-dimensional model for predicting the rate of radiation
heat transfer for the interior of an industrial furnace is described.
The model is two-dimensional due to the assumptions of the heat
source as an infinite radiating plane and the heat sink as rows of
parallel tubes that are both infinite...
Satellite technology represents the only technique for measuring sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on a global scale. SSTs are important as boundary conditions for climate and atmospheric boundary layer models which attempt to describe phenomena of all scales, ranging from local forecasts to predictions of global warming. Historical use of infrared...
The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...
We investigate several aspects of the numerical solution of the radiative transfer
equation in the context of coal combustion: the parallel efficiency of two commonly used
opacity models, the sensitivity of turbulent radiation interaction (TRI) effects
to the presence of coal particulate, and an improvement of the order of temporal...
