Kourganoff V., Busbridge L.W. Basic methods in transfer problems. Radiative equilibrium and neutron diffusion

Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1950, 405 pp. The problem of specifying the radiation field in an atmosphere which scatters light in accordance with well-defined physical laws originated in Lord Rayleigh's investigations in 1871 on the illumination and polarization of the sunlit sky. But the fundamental equations governing Rayleigh's particular problem had to wait seventy-five years for their formulation and solution. However, the subject was given a fr...

Cambridge University Press, 1998, 341 p. This book provides an introduction to cellular automata and lattice Boltzmann techniques. It begins with a chapter introducing the basic concepts of this developing field; a second chapter describes methods used in cellular automata modeling. Following chapters discuss the statistical mechanics of lattice gases, diffusion phenomena, reaction-diffusion processes and nonequilibrium phase transitions. A final...

Academic Press, London and New York, 1967, 377 pp. In August, 1965, a NATO Advanced Study Institute, sponsored by the NATO Science Committee, was held on the campus of the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. The topic of the Institute was "Transport Theory". Its major objective was to unite various disciplines which employ similar mathematical methods and to study the similarity as well as the differences among these disciplines....

Probabilistic radiative transfer – (R...

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2009, 307 pp. - ISBN 978-3-540-85368-8 Traditionally, radiative transfer has been the domain of astrophysicists and climatologists. In nuclear technology one has been dealing with the analogous equations of neutron transport. In recent years, applications of radiative transfer in combustion machine design and in medicine became more and more important. In each discipline various codes have been developed that—al...

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, 2004, 494 pp. - ISBN 0-521-77001-7 Astrophysicists have developed several very different methodologies for solving the radiative transfer equation. Accurate methods, fast methods, probabilistic methods and approximate methods are all explained, including the latest and most advanced techniques. The book includes the different methods used for computing line profiles, polarization due to resonance line sc...

Queen Mary College, University of London, Wiley & Sons, New-York, Toronto, 1971, 440 pp. In the postwar period the number of problems which employ a transport equation of one type or another have increased enormously. The areas of most importance in this respect are plasma physics, radiative transfer, rarefied gas dynamics and neutron transport theory. Whilst neutron transport clearly deals with neutral particles, plasma physics and some aspe...

Academic Press, New York, London, 1995, 227 pp. - ISBN 0-12-020027-9 Physical phenomena result from a combination of multiple basic processes. Often one can easily comprehend seemingly complex phenomena by investigating each of the basic processes. For example, the properties of a gas or liquid result from the interactions of the molecules which constitute the fluid, as described in molecular gas dynamics. The traffic flow in a highway network ca...
