A Low Memory Solver for Integral Equations of Chandrasekhar Type in the Radiative Transfer Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problems of radiative transfer give rise to interesting integral equations that must be faced with efficient numerical solver. Very often the integral equations are discretized to large-scale nonlinear equations and solved by Newton’s-like methods. Generally, these kind of methods require the computation and storage of the Jacobian matrix or its approximation. In this paper, we present a new approach that was based on approximating the Jacobian inverse into a diagonal matrix by means of variational technique. Numerical results on well-known benchmarks integral equations involved in the radiative transfer authenticate the reliability and efficiency of the approach. The fact that the proposed method can solve the integral equations without function derivative and matrix storage can be considered as a clear advantage over some other variants of Newton’s method.

Existence of Solutions of an Integral Equation of Chandrasekhar Type in the Theory of Radiative Transfer
We give an existence theorem for some functional-integral equations which includes many key integral and functional equations that arise in nonlinear analysis and its applications. In particular, we extend the class of characteristic functions appearing in Chandrasekhar’s classical integral equation from astrophysics and retain existence of its solutions. Extensive use is made of measures of no...
متن کاملResidual Monte Carlo Transport in Time with Consistent Low-Order Acceleration for 1D Thermal Radiative Transfer
We have extended a high-order low-order (HOLO) algorithm for thermal radiative transfer problems to include Monte Carlo (MC) integration of the time variable. Within each discrete time step, fixed-point iterations are performed between a high-order (HO) exponentially-convergent Monte Carlo (ECMC) solver and a low-order (LO) system of equations. The ECMC algorithm integrates the angular intensit...

In this study, three-dimensional simulations are presented for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas over a backward-facing step in rectangular duct. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is used to solve the governing equations which are conservations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations...
متن کاملOn Monotonic Solutions of Some Integral Equations
Integral equations arise naturally in applications of real world problems [5, 6, 7, 8]. The theory of integral equations has been well developed with the help of various tools from functional analysis, topology and fixed-point theory. The classical theory of integral equations can be generalized if one uses the Stieltjes integral with kernels dependent on one or two variables. The aim of this p...

This article presents the heat and mass transfer characteristics of unsteady MHD flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting micropolar fluid in the presence of viscous dissipation and radiation over a porous stretching sheet with chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by applying suitable si...
