Abstract

Radiation transfer in an absorbing, emitting, anisotropically scattering, plane-parallel medium with diffusely reflecting boundaries is solved by application of the Galerkin method. With this approach, the radiation heat flux, angular distribution of radiation intensity, and the divergence of the radiation heat flux anywhere in the medium can be determined highly accurately. For optical thicknesses up to about 10, exact results are also readily obtainable if sufficient number of terms are considered in the expansion. Numerical results are presented for representative cases.
