Abstract

The equation of radiative transfer in an isotropically scattering slab subject to general boundary conditions is solved. The Padé approximation technique is used to calculate the reflected and transmitted angular distributions. Numerical results for angular distributions through and at the boundaries of a finite slab are calculated by the Padé approximation technique. The results for a Padé approximation of [0/1] are compared with results obtained by the Galerkin method.
