Abstract

A method of analysis is presented for solving the radiative transfer problem in an absorbing, emitting, inhomogeneous, and anisotropically scattering plane-parallel medium with specular and diffuse reflecting boundaries and internal source (problem 1). Exact relations for the radiation heat flux at the boundaries of problem 1 are obtained in terms of the radiation density and albedos of the corresponding source-free medium with specular reflecting boundaries (problem 2). Two coupled integral equations for the radiation density and the second moment of the radiation intensity for problem 2 with Rayleigh phase functions are obtained. The Galerkin method is used to solve these equations. Albedos of problem 2 are compared with theF n method. Numerical results for radiation heat fluxes at the boundaries of problem 1 are tabulated for different forms of the internal source.
