A retrospective view on‘‘3-dimensional radiation in absorbing, emitting and scattering media using discrete-ordinates approximation’’by J.S.Truelove

Due to copyright restrictions, the access to the full text of this article is only available via subscription.Discrete-ordinates (DO) approximations to the radiative transfer equation in three- dimensional enclosures have extensively been used during the last three decades. The 1988 paper by Truelove [1] is one of the pioneering works in this field wherein traditional DO formulations were adapted to radiative transfer problems, and has impacted both the science and the technology related to large-scale combustion chambers since it was published. The following is a short introduction to this seminal JQSRT paper
