Displaying the dimensionless Radiation Transport Equation

In summary, the conversation discusses the display of the Radiation Transport Equation (RTE) in a dimensionless form. The picture of the RTE is shown and the speaker would like to include the Planck number (N), as well as the Prandtl number and Rayleigh number. They have attempted to do so, but have not been successful and are seeking help in understanding the process. Boby asks about the scaling of variables and how time is scaled, as well as how \mathbf{q}_R is defined in terms of temperature and its derivatives.

TL;DR Summary
Display the Radiation Transport Equation dimensionless
Hallo,
I would like to display the RTE (Radiation Transport Equation) dimensionless. In the picture, the RTE is shown. I would like to have the Planck number (or N) inside at the end. Additionally, the Prandtl number and the Rayleigh number can be inside. I have already many attempts behind me, but I do not get it. Could someone help me and explain it to me? I would be very grateful.

How are you scaling the variables? I assume temperature scales with [itex]T_{\mathrm{ref}}[/itex] and lengths with [itex]L[/itex]; that leaves the question of how you scale time. As you mention Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, this scaling presumably comes from the momentum equation, which you haven't included in your post.

How do you define [itex]\mathbf{q}_R[/itex] in terms of [itex]T[/itex] and its derivatives?
 

FAQ: Displaying the dimensionless Radiation Transport Equation

What is the dimensionless Radiation Transport Equation?

The dimensionless Radiation Transport Equation is a mathematical equation used to describe the transport of radiation through a medium. It takes into account the absorption, scattering, and emission of radiation within the medium.
