Radiative heat transfer solutions for anisotropically scattering media: The use of wavelets

Wavelet analysis is presented for solving the radiative transfer problem for a scattering media. The governing equations are shown to reduce to a system of first-order ordinary differential equations. The presented solution is applicable to any square integrable scattering phase function. A one-dimensional plane-parallel geometry is chosen, and a linearly anisotropic scattering medium is assumed to compare the solution with the results of the previous research.
