Geometry Class: Enclosure
Geometry Id: Hemisphere to Base Disk
Configuration Notes: A2 (base disk) Is Flat So F21=1. Reciprocity: A1*F12=A2*F21 → 2piR^2*F12=piR^2*1 → F12=0.5. F11=1-F12=0.5 (hemisphere Self-view).
Formula Expression: F12=0.5; F21=1
Geometry Description: Hemispherical Surface (area=2piR^2) to Its Flat Circular Base Disk (area=piR^2)
Reciprocity F21: 1
Surface 1: Hemispherical Surface
Surface 2: Base Disk
View Factor F12: 0.5
