The searchlight problem for radiative transfer in a finite slab. (English) Zbl 0947.65144

The searchlight problem for radiative transfer in a finite slab is studied. To solve this problem a version of the discrete ordinates method is used combined with numerical linear algebra techniques and two-dimensional Fourier transform procedures. The radiation flow and the radiation current are present in numerical examples.
