Partition of the circle in cells of equal area and shape

Luc Masset · ORBi (University of Liège) · 2011

In the present paper, a new method for partitioning a circle in cells is presented. Cells have equal areas and shapes, so the method is termed the Isocell method. Its most interesting property is that cell centres are uniformly distributed inside the circle. Among possible applications of the Isocell method, the calculation of view factors by ray-tracing (image rendering, radiative heat transfer modelling) is presented.
