SLMB Modeling of the Full Spectrum Cumulative k-Distribution of H₂O

Radiative heat transfer is significant in many applications involving energy exchanges in gaseous media, such as combustion in engines or furnaces, atmospheric heat balances,.. The Line-By-Line (LBL) approach is the most reliable technique to determine the radiative properties of gases but is rarely used in radiative transfer simulations due to the associated prohibitive computational requirements. Approximate models are favored for such calculations. A comprehensive description of these existing methodologies can be found in Refs. [1, 2].
