Abstract
Half-space albedo, slab albedo and critical slab problems will be solved for extremely anisotropic scattering using the analytical expressions of the FN method with a different numerical approximation. The infinite medium Green's function for the anisotropic scattering case obtained in terms of the infinite medium Green's function for the isotropic scattering is used. The numerical results are compared with data available in the literature.
Kurzfassung
Half-space Albedo, Slab Albedo und Critical Slab Probleme werden für extrem anisotrope Streuung gelöst mit Hilfe der analytischen Ausdrücke der FN Methode mit einer anderen numerischen Näherung. Die Green's Funktion für unendliche Medien wird für den Fall anisotroper Streuung in Form der Green's Funktion für unendliche Medien für isotrope Streuung verwendet. Die numerischen Ergebnisse werden mit Daten aus der Literatur verglichen.
