pulse.problem.schemes.rte.RadiativeTransferSolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Descriptive, Reflexive

Direct Known Subclasses:

DiscreteOrdinatesMethod, NonscatteringRadiativeTransfer

public abstract class RadiativeTransferSolver
extends PropertyHolder
implements Reflexive, Descriptive

Manages processes to solve the radiative transfer equation and generate the input needed by the heat problem, i.e. fluxes and their derivatives. Uses a SplineInterpolator to generate a smooth spatial temperature profile. Provides means of probing the calculation health and tracking calculation steps with listeners.
