Discrete-ordinates solution for uncoupled multi-wavelength radiative transfer problems

The discrete-ordinates method is used to solve uncoupled multi-wavelength radiative transfer problems in multi-region plane-parallel media. We present a generalized analytical discrete-ordinates formulation that includes internal sources, as well as reflecting and emitting boundaries, incident distribution of radiation on each surface and a beam incident on one surface, as boundary conditions. Four problems were selected to show the results that can be generated through this formulation.
