STOCHASTIC EQUATIONS IN RADIATIVE TRANSFER BY INVARIANT IMBEDDING METHOD

Journal Article · · J. Math. Anal. and Appl.
A derivation is given of the basic set of stochastic integro- differential equations for the probability distributions of photons from a plane- parallel inhomogeneous medium of finite optical thickness tau/sub 1/. Invariant imbedding techniques are used for the reflected and transmitted fluxes and for the probability distributions of the fluxes in one-dimensional neutron transport theory. The length of the rod is treated as an essential parameter of the process. In the case of internal fluxes, attention is focussed upon an interior point that has suppressed boundary-dependence.
