Abstract
Mengüç, and Viskanta (1983) examined the scope of some approximate methods for solving transfer problems in plane medium scattering anisotropically. His aim was to focus attention on methods capable of extension to multidimensional geometry. In the present paper, it is demonstrated that modified double-interval spherical harmonic method admirably suits that role. The transfer problem of Mengüç and Viskanta's model has been solved by this method. The results computed are found to be in good agreement with those obtained by other methods.
