Modeling near-field radiative heat transfer from sharp objects using a general three-dimensional numerical scattering technique

We develop a general numerical method to calculate the nonequilibrium radiative heat transfer between a plate and compact objects of arbitrary shapes, making the first accurate theoretical predictions for the total heat transfer and the spatial heat flux profile for three-dimensional compact objects...
