Abstract

The problem of radiation transfer in a semi-infinite plane-parallel random medium with polarized Rayleigh scattering phase function is considered. The random medium is assumed to consist of two immiscible mixed materials with specular reflecting boundary. The mixing statistics of the two components of the medium is described by the two-state homogeneous Markovian statistics. A formalism, developed to treat radiative transfer in statistical mixtures, is used to obtain the ensemble averaged solution. Three different weight functions are used to obtain the numerical results for the ensemble-average for reflectivity, radiant energy, and net flux of the medium.
