Abstract:
We consider the Cauchy problem for a non-stationary radiative transfer equation in a three-dimensional multicomponent medium
with generalized matching conditions. These matching condition describe Fresnel and diffuse reflection and refraction at the interfaces.
The existence and uniqueness of a solution of the initial-boundary value problem is proved. We construct a Monte-Carlo numerical method designed to find
a solution that accounts for the space-time localization of radiation sources. Computational experiments were carried out and their results presented.
Keywords:radiative transfer equation, a Cauchy problem, Fresnel and diffuse matching conditions, Monte Carlo methods.
