EXACT SOLUTIONS FOR ANISOTROPIC, MULTIPLE SCATTERING BY PARALLEL PLANE DISPERSIONS

Abstract

The effect of anisotropic scattering on radiative transfer was investigated theoretically. Exact solutions were obtained for a plane source obliquely incident on a multiply scattering, parallel plane dispersion by numerical integration. The results are utilized to evaluate the various approximate models which have been proposed for radiative transfer and neutron diffusion. A new variable-order, diffusion-type model is proposed as an improved approximation. (Author)
