Improvements of the Methods of Radiation Fields Numerical Modeling on the Basis of Mirror Reflection Principle

摘要

Fundamental properties of the angular-spatial symmetry of radiation fields in the uniform slab of a finite optical thickness are used for improvement of the numerical methods and algorithms of the classical radiative transfer theory. A new notion of so called photometrical invariants is introduced. The basic boundary-value problem of the radiative transfer theory is reformulated in new terms for the subsequent simplification of algorithms of numerical modeling methods such as spherical harmonics, discrete ordinates, Gauss-Seidel and Case methods. This simplification leads to two-fold decrease of the ranks of linear algebraic equations with simultaneous reduction of numerical modeling intervals connected with angular and spatial variables.
