Abstract
A method to solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE) for absorbing-emitting and/or scattering media for 2-D and axisymmetric geometries using a general 3-D solver with a special treatment of the boundary condition in the third direction is presented. It allows a choice of first- or second- order schemes and can be used with non-orthogonal hexahedral grids for complex domains. Two-dimensional or axisymmetric problems are treated as different special cases of a three-dimensional problem. The method is tested on axisymmetric problems with absorbing-emitting and/or scattering media and on a 2D planar problem with a transparent medium and validated by comparisons with benchmark solutions.
