Description
When dealing with thermal simulation, the time constraint represents a significant challenge, particularly with the rise of thermal digital twins. To address this, an approach relying on the linearization of the radiative component of the heat transfer equation is being investigated as a potential replacement for the Runge-Kutta scheme. A student from the University of Nice, in collaboration with Dorea Technology, has undertaken this task to simplify the non-linear nature of radiative heat transfer. By approximating the radiative heat exchange between surfaces in space as linear, the study aims to enhance the computational speed of solving the heat transfer equation. This advancement would allow for more precise control and prediction of thermal behaviors in spacecraft, ensuring better performance and reliability in the harsh conditions of space.
