Solution of Linear Radiative Transfer Equation in Hollow Sphere by Diamond Difference Discrete Ordinates and Decomposition Methods

In this article, we present a methodology to solve radiative transfer problems in spherical geometry without other forms of heat exchange. We use a decomposition method based on the Adomian formulations, together with a diamond difference scheme and a trapezoidal rule to approximate the integral pa...

description In this article, we present a methodology to solve radiative transfer problems in spherical geometry without other forms of heat exchange. We use a decomposition method based on the Adomian formulations, together with a diamond difference scheme and a trapezoidal rule to approximate the integral part of the solution. The algorithm is simple, highly reproducible, and can be easily adapted to further problems or geometries. Also, we demonstrate its consistency and showed that using an analytical solution with a trapezoidal rule improves the order of convergence compared to using the finite difference method. These considerations are necessary for future applications in more complex cases. The numerical results are compared with some classical and recent cases in the literature, along with a simplified version of a complete (fully coupled with heat exchange) case.
