Hello all, I have a question.
I am currently doing an analysis involving solar radiation. It is a glass building and I am applying one of the radiation boundary models, transparent, to the boundary, but I have some questions.

In transparent, I need to select wallAbsorptionModel as shown in the figure below, and since I am doing an analysis that includes solar radiation, I have selected the multiBandAbsorption type. However, only absorption and emissivity are set here. If the material is transparent, then transmittance + reflectance + absorptance = 1 should hold, and we need to set the reflectance somewhere.
Quote:
type transparent;
wallAbsorptionEmissionModel
{
type multiBandAbsorption;
absorptivity (0.3 0.7);
emissivity (0.3 0.7);
};
1. In a transparent model, how do you set the reflectance?

2. If I set the absorption and reflection rates, is the transmittance automatically set to satisfy transmittance + reflection + absorption = 1?

I would appreciate it if someone could answer my question.
Thank you in advance.
