Boundary conditions for the diffusion equation in radiative transfer.
Using the method of images, we examine the three boundary conditions commonly applied to the surface of a semi-infinite turbid medium. We find that the image-charge configurations of the partial-current and extrapolated-boundary conditions have the same dipole and quadrupole moments and that the two corresponding solutions to the diffusion equation are approximately equal. In the application of...
متن کاملMultigrid Methods for Polarized Radiative Transfer
A new iterative method for non-LTE multilevel polarized radiative transfer in hydrogen lines is presented. Iterative methods (such as the Jacobi method) tend to damp out high-frequency components of the error fast, but converges poorly due to slow reduction of low-frequency components. The idea is to use a set of differently coarsed grids to reduce both the short-and long-period errors. This le...
متن کاملA 3D radiative transfer framework: III. periodic boundary conditions
Aims. We present a general method to solve radiative transfer problems including scattering in the continuum as well as in lines in 3D configurations with periodic boundary conditions. Methods. The scattering problem for line transfer is solved via means of an operator splitting (OS) technique. The formal solution is based on a full characteristics method. The approximate Λ operator is construc...
متن کاملRadiative transfer in cylindrical threads with incident radiation - VII. Multi-thread models
Aims. Our aim is to improve on previous radiative transfer calculations in illuminated cylindrical threads to better understand the physical conditions in cool solar chromospheric and coronal structures commonly observed in hydrogen and helium lines. Methods. We solved the radiative transfer and statistical equilibrium equations in a two-dimensional cross-section of a cylindrical structure orie...
متن کاملPolarized Radiative Transfer in Solar Atmosphere
The observations indicate the existence of linear polarization in the hydrogen Hα spectral line observed during the solar flare events. This emission of polarized radiation is of the order of 5% and is usually explained as a consequence of collisions of hydrogen atoms with the beam of fast protons coming from coronal regions. This article presents a brief overview of the recent solar flare pola...
