چکیده
In this work we consider the numerical solution of a radiative transfer equation for modeling the emission of photons in stellar atmospheres. Mathematically, the problem is formulated in terms of a weakly singular Fredholm integral equation defined on a Banach space. Computational approaches to solve the problem are discussed, using direct and iterative strategies that are implemented in open source packages.

New Solutions for Singular Lane-Emden Equations Arising in Astrophysics Based on Shifted Ultraspherical Operational Matrices of Derivatives
In this paper, the ultraspherical operational matrices of derivatives are constructed. Based on these operational matrices, two numerical algorithms are presented and analyzed for obtaining new approximate spectral solutions of a class of linear and nonlinear Lane-Emden type singular initial value problems. The basic idea behind the suggested algorithms is basically built on transforming the eq...
متن کاملAn Efficient Solution Technique for the Radiative Transfer Equation
The discretization of the multi{dimensional radiative transfer equation results in a very large linear system of equations. The standard solution method used by astrophysicists is a simpliied xed point iteration (called approximate {iteration) which becomes slow for problems most interesting in astrophysics. As an alternative, a class of (block) conjugate gradient{like methods is proposed, toge...

متن کاملHigh Performance Computing Benchmark Tool for Parallel Processing of Large Models
Benchmarks for parallel processing of large models is an urgent need for High Performance Computing (HPC) as today’s model size reaches millions of degrees of freedom. Explicit solvers as in the case of crash dynamics or fluid dynamics do not require matrix based equation solvers and inherently exhibit good scalability on large numbers of processors. Where as analysis requiring implicit solvers...
