Abstract
An operator-splitting finite element scheme for the time-dependent radiative transfer equation is presented in this paper. The streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element method and discontinuous Galerkin finite element method are used for the spatial-angular discretization of the radiative transfer equation, whereas the backward Euler scheme is used for temporal discretization. Error analysis of the proposed numerical scheme for the fully discrete radiative transfer equation is presented. The stability and convergence estimates for the fully discrete problem are derived. Moreover, an operator-splitting algorithm for the numerical simulation of high-dimensional equations is also presented. The validity of the derived estimates and implementation is illustrated with suitable numerical experiments.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
