Abstract

The accurate prediction of emissivity for rough surfaces is critical in fields such as solar thermal energy and radiation thermometry. For practical rough surfaces, directly solving electromagnetic equations is computationally intensive and often lacks analytical solutions. Geometrical optics approximation offers computational efficiency and, in some cases, explicit formulas. However, their applicability is inherently limited, particularly for surfaces with steep slopes or small σ/λ ratios. This paper introduces a formula for calculating a roughness factor based on Gaussian random rough surfaces and presents a concise, wide-range emissivity model that integrates the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. Results demonstrate that the predicted roughness factor deviates by less than 5 % compared to measurements of sandblasted surfaces, while the derived emissivity values exhibit a maximum relative deviation of less than 3 % from experimental results. In regions where geometrical optics approximation is invalid, emissivity is governed by two dimensionless parameters: σ/τ and σ/λ, within specific ranges. By incorporating an effective roughness factor related to σ/λ into the geometrical optics model, the proposed approach significantly extends the model's applicability. The new model reduces the maximum absolute error compared to FDTD results from 0.43 (using conventional geometrical optics models) to 0.09. This study addresses the limitations of existing emissivity models for rough surfaces where geometrical optics approximation fails, while advancing the understanding of how surface morphology influences emissivity.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review. The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are: * Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow * Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media * Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change * Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer * Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...) * Multiscale modelling The applied research topics include: * Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes * Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries) * Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices * Heat transport analysis in advanced systems * Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
