Abstract

In this chapter, the formulation and solution of the radiative transfer problem in one-dimensional homogeneous participating media and two-layer heterogeneous participating media are presented. The phenomenon of radiative transfer in participating media, i.e., absorbers, scatterers, and emitters, is modeled with the Boltzmann Equation. The solution of this equation, with the respective boundary conditions, is obtained with the Discrete Ordinates Method and the Finite Difference Method. Possible effects on the boundary or inside (interface) of the medium due to refractive index are not considered. To the two-layer one-dimensional heterogeneous participating media, both reflection and transmission in the interface are considered to be diffuse.
