Radiative transfer in absorbing, emitting and linearly anisotropic-scattering inhomogeneous cylindrical medium

Radiative integral transfer equations for one-dimensional solid cylinder with absorbing, emitting and linearly anisotropic-scattering inhomogeneous medium were derived by Abulwafa et al. (JQSRT 62 (1999) 755). The anisotropic terms in the integral equations and their results for anisotropic benchmark problems (JQSRT 66 (2000) 487) are inaccurate. In this study, the integral equations for absorbing, emitting and linearly anisotropic-scattering medium are rederived, and the integral equations for one-dimensional solid cylindrical medium are solved. The results are compared with selected cases using the discrete ordinates S₁₆ and the exact solutions available in the literature.
