Radiative Transfer

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Radiative Transfer.

• Henyey–Greenstein phase function — A one-parameter angular scattering distribution whose asymmetry factor interpolates among backward isotropic and forward scattering.
• Schwarzschild's equation for radiative transfer — The differential balance of absorption and thermal emission for spectral radiation traveling through a nonscattering medium in local thermodynamic equilibrium.
