[Radiance-general] under water light fixtures

[Reinhart, Christoph]

Dear Radiance colleagues:
 
One of my students is interested in modeling an under-water light
fixture for a swimming pool in Radiance. I have modeled a water surface
in the past, but I am not sure how to model light traveling through
water. I vaguely recall hearing that to do so one must model the water
volume as a dielectric. Could anybody explain to me how this is done? An
example file would be very much appreciated.
