Radiative Transfer in 3D Numerical Simulations
We simulate convection near the solar surface, where the continuum optical depth is of order unity. Hence, to determine the radiative heating and cooling in the energy conservation equation, we must solve the radiative transfer equation (instead of using the diffusion or optically thin cooling approximations). A method efficient enough to calculate the radiation for thousands of time steps is n...
متن کاملParallelization Strategies for ALI Radiative Transfer in Moving Media
We describe the method we have used to parallelize our spherically symmetric special relativistic short characteristics general radiative transfer code PHOENIX. We describe some possible parallelization strategies and show why they would be inefficient. We discuss the multiple parallelization strategy techniques that we have adopted. We briefly discuss generalizing these strategies to full 3-D ...
متن کاملA hybrid transport-diffusion method for Monte Carlo radiative-transfer simulations
Discrete Diffusion Monte Carlo (DDMC) is a hybrid transport-diffusion method for Monte Carlo simulations in diffusive media. In DDMC, particles take discrete steps between spatial cells according to a discretized diffusion equation. Thus, DDMC produces accurate solutions while increasing the efficiency of the Monte Carlo calculation. In this paper, we extend previously developed DDMC techniques...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional simulations of radiative transfer in Type Ia supernovae
A three-dimensional Monte Carlo code for modelling radiation transport in Type Ia supernovae is described. In addition to tracking Monte Carlo quanta to follow the emission, scattering and deposition of radiative energy, a scheme involving volumebased Monte Carlo estimators is used to allow properties of the emergent radiation field to be extracted for specific viewing angles in a multi-dimensi...
متن کاملEffects of Improved Radiative Transfer Modeling for Climate Simulations
The interaction of shortwave and infrared radiation in the atmosphere with clouds and greenhouse gases represents a complex process that contributes significantly to maintaining earth's climate system. For climate model simulations to become more accurate, it is essential that this process be modeled properly as verified by direct comparisons with observations and with results from a validated ...
