A numerical simulation method was proposed for predicting heat transfer mechanism in a carbon opacified aerogel and its thermal performance. Based upon physical models including cubic array model for solid and gas combined conduction, spectral band model for thermal radiation transfer, coupled conduction and radiation heat transfer model, the radiation and coupled heat transfer processes in aerogels were simulated by Monte Carlo and finite volume methods, respectively. The heat transfer performance was characterized by apparent thermal conductivities for aerogels. In addition, the thermal performance, the roles of various heat transfer modes and their dependence on temperature were simulated quantitatively for a specified aerogel. Finally, the discrepancy in using Rosseland approximation method was analyzed.
