Abstract
Semi-analytic solutions for high-energy density radiation diffusion problems in slab geometry using a two-group model for the frequency (photon energy) variable are presented. To obtain these solutions we specify forms for the heat capacity and emissivity in the high energy group that are a function of the fraction of radiation emission in the low energy group in order to linearize the problem. This results in a linear system of equations that are solved via Laplace and Fourier transforms: the Laplace transform is inverted analytically and the inverse Fourier transform is computed using numerical integration. It is demonstrated that these solutions can be useful in verifying codes for solving the radiation diffusion equations in the high-energy density regime. Additionally, we include solutions for an optically thick problem that can be used to test the asymptotic diffusion limit of codes solving a transport model for radiative transfer.
