The meshless method for solving radiative transfer problems in a slab medium based on radial basis functions (1408.2209v1)

Abstract: In this paper a numerical meshless method for solving the radiative transfer equations in a slab medium with an isotropic scattering is considered. The method is based on radial basis functions to approximate the solution of an integral-partial differential equation by using collocation method. For this purpose different applications of RBFs are used. To this end the numerical solutions are obtained without any mesh generation into the domain of the problems. The results of numerical experiments are compared with the existing results in illustrative examples to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the presented scheme. Also the norm of the residual functions are obtained to show the convergence of the method.
