Particle Transport in a 3D duct by adding and doubling

Abstract

Particle transport through a duct by Lambertian reflection from duct walls is again considered. This popular transport example has been solved by most numerical transport methods except notably one- the method of doubling. We shall show that the method of doubling provides every bit as, or more, accurate reflectances and transmittances as the numerical discrete ordinates (NDO) and analytical discrete ordinates (ADO) methods with less mathematical and numerical effort.
