Calculation of the albedo and transmission in a slab with a specified isotropic scattering using the F-N method

The monoenergetic transport equation for slab geometry with a specified iso tropic scattering model is considered. First, the transport equation is con verted into one in which the scattering kernel is completely isotropic. The n, the calculations for the albedo and transmission factor were performed b y the F-N method and numerical results are tabulated for slab with various scattering parameters and sizes. Thus, the effect of the specified isotropi c scattering on the variation of the slab albedo and transmission factor is shown. Finally, we make a few remarks about the numerical applicability an d the accuracy of the present method to this type of anisotropic scattering model. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
