title = "Modeling photon density waves with the equation of radiative transfer",
abstract = "We present an algorithm that provides frequency-domain solution of the equation of radiative transfer (ERT) for heterogeneous media of arbitrary shape. While in general the ERT is more accurate than the diffusion equation, no ERT code for photon density waves has been developed to date. In this work we present a formulation of the ERT in the frequency domain and discretize the equation by a discrete ordinate methods in combination with a finite-volume approach. Two numerical simulations are presented.",

note = "Funding Information: We have presented an algorithm that solves the equation of radiative transfer in the frequency domain. This code allows modeling effects of photon-density-wave propagation in highly scattering media with arbitrary geometry, by combining a discrete ordinate methods with finite-volume discretization. The scheme, although of first order, preserves the positivity of the transport solution. First numerical results are in agreement with generally expected effects. Further testing with experimental data will be necessary to fully validate the code.
