The complete thesis can be accessed directly here. Abstract Compilations of radiative view factors (often in closed analytical form) are readily available in the open literature for commonly encountered geometries. For more complex three-dimensional (3D) scenarios, however, the effort required to solve the requisite multi-dimensional integrations needed to estimate a required view factor can be daunting to say the least.
