Scientific visualization for solar concentrating systems: Computer simulation program for visual and numerical analysis
Conference
·
OSTI ID:390239
The Computer Simulation Program for Visual and Numerical Analysis of Solar Concentrators (VNASC) and specified scientific visualization methods for computer modeling of solar concentrating systems are described. The program has two code versions (FORTRAN and C++). It visualizes a concentrating process and takes into account geometrical factors and errors, including Gauss errors of reflecting surfaces, facets` alignment errors, and suntracking errors.
