Simulator for Radiometry:Radiosity/Radiant Flux density?

In summary: In summary, the conversation is about finding simulation software that can quantify radiometry for optimizing the placement of LEDs within a cylindrical container. Some suggested options include ASAP, FRED, and LightTools.

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good simulation software packages that can do quantitative radiometry. I'm thinking COMSOL may have a radiometry suite, but I'm not very familiar with the software or package offerings.

Basically, I'm trying to optimize the placement of hundreds of LEDs within a cylindrical container, such that I can get a nearly constant irradiance over an object placed in the center of the chamber.

Thanks so much!

Mike

I don't know any software, but you might try flexible LED's like the following: http://cooledgelighting.com/portfolio.php

1. What is a Simulator for Radiometry?

A Simulator for Radiometry is a computer program or software tool used to simulate and analyze radiometric measurements and calculations. It allows researchers and engineers to model and experiment with different radiometric scenarios and parameters, without the need for physical instruments or experiments.

2. What is Radiosity in Radiometry?

Radiosity is a measure of the total amount of radiant energy emitted or reflected by a surface. It takes into account both the incoming and outgoing radiation and is commonly used in radiometric calculations to determine the energy balance of a system.

3. What is Radiant Flux Density in Radiometry?

Radiant Flux Density, also known as irradiance, is a measure of the amount of radiant energy per unit area, received or emitted by a surface. It is expressed in units of Watts per square meter (W/m²) and is used to quantify the strength of a light source or the amount of energy absorbed by a surface.

4. How does a Simulator for Radiometry work?

A Simulator for Radiometry uses mathematical models and algorithms to simulate the behavior of light and its interactions with different surfaces and materials. It takes into account factors such as light source characteristics, surface properties, and environmental conditions to generate accurate radiometric data and visualizations.

5. What are the applications of a Simulator for Radiometry?

A Simulator for Radiometry has many applications in various fields such as lighting design, solar energy, remote sensing, and thermal imaging. It is used to optimize lighting systems, analyze the performance of solar panels, and simulate the behavior of radiation in different environments, among others.
