Abstract. The radiative transfer equation (RTE) occurs in a wide variety of applications. In this paper, we study discrete-ordinate discontinuous Galerkin methods for solving the RTE. The numerical methods are formed in two steps. In the first step, the discrete ordinate technique is applied to discretize the integral operator for the angular variable, resulting in a semi-discrete hyperbolic sy...

متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Upwind Discontinuous Galerkin Approximation of the Radiative Transport Equation in the Diffusive Limit
We revisit some results from M. L. Adams [Nucl. Sci. Engrg., 137 (2001), pp. 298– 333]. Using functional analytic tools we prove that a necessary and sufficient condition for the standard upwind discontinuous Galerkin approximation to converge to the correct limit solution in the diffusive regime is that the approximation space contains a linear space of continuous functions, and the restrictio...
