Inverse square law for the starter intensity of the discrete ordinates method in spherical geometry
Abstract
Description
The angular derivative of the standard form of the transfer equation is shown to have a non-zero value for the radiation normal incidence. This is demonstrated by a rigorous proof. The transfer equation for the starter intensity turned out to be Euler first order equation its solution obeys the inverse square law.
