Some Jargon • Specific Intensity, Radiative Flux • Optical Depth • Absorption and Emission • Equation of Transfer • Source Function
Specific Intensity, Radiative Flux • Optical Depth • Absorption and Emission • Equation of Transfer • Source Function
Plane Parallel Isotropic Scattering • Illuminating : Slab is illuminated from below. That is, we need to inject Photons from the origin such that FLUX is ISOTROPIC. For this sample the angles s.t. • Where the specific intensity is independent of direction and lower limit is 0 since we are injecting photons in only upward direction. This then gives,
Plane Parallel Isotropic Scattering • In the Slab : Max Height of Slab is Zmax and we can parameterize the slab by Vertical optical depth • Then the distance , L travelled by a ray is
Plane Parallel Isotropic Scattering • I have travelled L, now what ??? : • Binning Photons : Once a photon exits the slab, we need to place them in to mu bins in the range [0,1] as we are interested in Emergent radiation.
Plane Parallel Isotropic Scattering • Norming the Intensity :
Plane Parallel Isotropic Scattering • The Simulation Parameters : nphotons= 1000000; mubins= 10; taumax = 10;
