February 14, 2019, 05:00	Accessing View factors of a patch for postprocessing	#1
pss47 New Member Sudarshan Padubidre Join Date: May 2018 Posts: 14 Rep Power: 8	Hello, I am performing steady-state passenger cabin simulation using OpenFOAM 6 including radiation load using view factor model. I want to calculate Mean Radiant temperature for the mannequin after running the simulation. $M R T = T _ { 1 } F _ { p - 1 } + T _ { 2 } F _ { p - 2 } + \ldots + T _ { n } F _ { p - n }$ where: is Mean Radiant Temperature $T _ { n }$ is the temperature of surface "n", in Kelvin $F _ { p - n }$ is the angle factor between a person and surface "n". My questions are How can i access view factors of a patch to create custom function objects? Is there any other approach I can try to calculate the mean radiant temperature directly? Thank you Sudarshan
