Mathematical background¶
The numerical foundation of MoCSI: how the heat equation is discretized, which boundary conditions are supported, and how solar radiation is coupled across facets.
Finite Element Method
Spatial discretization of the heat equation
Boundary conditions
Top and bottom BC formulations available in MoCSI
TDMA solver
Tridiagonal matrix algorithm for the 1D case
Radiosity
Scattered light and self-heating between facets
