Optically-Thin Limit; Specified Radiative Fracti The net radiative loss from the computational domain is reported as a function of time in the column {\ct Q\_RADI} in the output file {\ct CHID\_hrr.csv}. The absolute value of {\ct Q\_RADI} divided by the total heat release rate, {\ct HRR}, is usually not exactly equal to the specified {\ct RADIATIVE\_FRACTION}. The reason for this is that the specified radiative fraction of the fire's energy can be reabsorbed by colder combustion products such as smoke and water vapor, thereby decreasing the absolute value of {\ct Q\_RADI}. Or, hot layer smoke and combustion products can heat up and emit thermal radiation, adding to the absolute value of {\ct Q\_RADI}. -The correction factor that is applied to the RTE source term in the region defined by Eq.~(\ref{clip}) by default is bound between 1 and 100, meaning that the correction factor only increases the net radiative output of the combusting region, if necessary, to achieve the desired {\ct RADIATIVE\_FRACTION}. However, you can change the default behavior of the correction as follows. First, you can force the RTE source term to be modified in all grid cells by changing the 10 in Eq.~(\ref{clip}) to -1 via {\ct QR\_CLIP} on the {\ct RADI} line, in which case the solver will apply the radiative fraction to the entire domain, not just the cells where combustion occurs. This will essentially force the net radiative loss from the entire domain to obey the {\ct RADIATIVE\_FRACTION}. Second, you can allow the RTE source term to increase or decrease in value to achieve the desired {\ct RADIATIVE\_FRACTION} by changing the lower limit of the correction factor, {\ct C\_MIN}, from its default value of 1 to, say, 0.5 on the {\ct RADI} line. The corresponding parameter, {\ct C\_MAX}, limits the correction factor to 100. +The correction factor that is applied to the RTE source term in the region defined by Eq.~(\ref{clip}) by default is bound between 1 and 100, meaning that the correction factor only increases the net radiative output of the combusting region, if necessary, to achieve the desired {\ct RADIATIVE\_FRACTION}.

Since {\ct RTE SOURCE CORRECTION FACTOR} is a global value, the position of the device does not matter. \subsection[Radiation Option 4.
