Radiative Transfer

New in version 2.0.

Adaptive Ray Tracing

Solving the radiative transfer equation can be computed with adaptive ray tracing that is fully coupled with the hydrodynamics and energy / rate solvers. The adaptive ray tracing uses the algorithm of Abel & Wandelt (2002) that is based on the HEALPix framework.

For the time being, a detailed description and test suite can be found in the paper Wise & Abel (2011, MNRAS 414, 3458).

Flux Limited Diffusion

More details can be found in the paper Reynolds et al. (2009, Journal of Computational Physics 228, 6833).
