I have a skylight for roof top modeled with two different materials
1. regular window glass which is opaque for longwave radiation. 2. ZnS glass is 75% (0.75) transparent to the longwave radiation. I used Discrete Ordinates (DO) Model since it is the only model with 'semi-transparent' and 'non-gray' mode. I made four bands, 0 – 4, 4 – 8, 8-14, 14-50 µm in Model - Radiation - Number of Bands, Lets assume that : Topside window glass and top side ZnS glass are exposed to ambient surroundings at 296 K bottom side window glass and bottom side ZnS glass are located inside building space at 298 K Now, I turned on solar calculator, Input the data such as Latitude, longitude and time and data, (this is fine). Direct solar irradiation as 660 W/m2 Diffuse solar irradiation as 125 W/m2 Then, I turned on solar BC options for both top side window glass and top side ZnS glass. Direct and diffuse irradiation values are directly calculated by Ansys Fluent, I think, Diffuse fraction = Diffuse irradiation/(direct irradiation + diffuse irradiation). Now, the question is: For bottom side window glass, for bottom side ZnS glass, I want to set Direct irradiation = ? Perhaps it is zero in all bands´(1 to 4) Diffuse irradiations = band 1 to band 4 = (need help here). Diffuse fraction= band 1 to band 4 = (need help here). Please find the attached screen shots for better idea. |
