functionPhiTri

Calculates the view factors of nTri triangular areas

Information

This function calculates the view factors of nTri triangular areas.

Literature

This algorithm is inherited by the view factor calculation method of Bernd Glück: Dynamisches Raummodell zur wärmetechnischen und wärmephysiologischen Bewertung, Rudolf-Otto-Meyer-Stiftung, Bericht Teil A, 2004.
