Abstract

The pattern effects in hot processes arise from a spatial variation of the radiative heat flux imbalance between emission and absorption. There are two scenarios to reduce the pattern effect: a very reflective chamber facing the patterned side with an illumination from the backside or a controlled double sided illumination on the other hand. The paper demonstrates the mechanism of both scenarios with a simple mathematical model and discusses the limitations of the approaches. The results will be exemplified with the help of reactor scale simulations involving a detailed Monte Carlo radiation model featuring continuous spectral dependence.
