Radiative transfer in horizontally and vertically inhomogeneous turbid media

  • Chapter
Light Scattering Reviews 2

Part of the book series: Springer Praxis Books ((ENVIRONSCI))

Abstract

Radiative transfer through turbid media is usually modeled on the basis of the stationary radiative transfer equation (RTE). As a rule, in addition various approximations of the radiative transfer equation, such as the spherical harmonics equations or small angle approximations, are used. The spherical harmonics equations are relevant for transport problems in optically thick and weakly heterogeneous media, whereas small angle approximation works well for radiation transfer problems in media characterized by the phase functions peaked in the forward scattering direction.
