Abstract: We consider the integral equation arising as a result of heat radiation exchange in both convex and nonconvex enclosures of diffuse grey surfaces. For nonconvex geometries, the visibility function must be taken into consideration. Therefore, a geometrical algorithm has been developed to provide an efficient detection of the shadow zones. For the numerical realization of the Fredholm integral equation, a boundary element method based on Galerkin‐Bubnov discretization scheme is implemented. Consequently, multigrid iteration methods, which are closely related to two‐grid methods, are used to solve the system of linear equations. To demonstrate the high efficiency of these iterations, we construct some numerical experiments for different enclosure geometries.
