Thermal analysts address a wide variety of applications requiring the simulation of radiation heat transfer phenomena. There are gaps in the currently available modeling capabilities. Addressing these gaps would allow for the consideration of additional physics and increase confidence in simulation predictions. This document outlines a five year plan to address the current and future needs of the analyst community with regards to modeling radiation heat transfer processes. This plan represents a significant multi-year effort that must be supported on an ongoing basis.
