Integral equation formulation for transient radiative transfer in
an anisotropically scattering medium
(2000)Abstract
The integral equation formulation for transient radiative transfer
in a 3D absorbing and anisotropically scattering medium is developed.
The method developed is applied to transient radiative transfer in
1D planar and 2D cylindrical linearly anisotropically scattering
media exposed to pulse radiation. The integral equations for the
two examples are solved by the quadrature method. The results by
the present method agree quite well with those obtained by the Monte
Carlo methods. The effects of various parameters are investigated.
