Abstract
In this section, we consider the basic principles of radiative heat transfer. The general theory of the fluctuating electromagnetic field is applied for the calculation of the radiative heat transfer in the plate–plate and particle–plate configurations using the Green’s function and scattering matrix approaches. The Green’s function approach is used to calculate the radiative heat transfer between anisotropic materials and the scattering matrix approach is used to calculate the radiative heat transfer between plates in relative motion.
