Abstract

The SKN, (Synthetic Kernel) approximation is applied to a two-dimensional homogeneous cylindrical participating medium with isotropic scattering. The SKN equations are tested against benchmark problems consisting of cold homogeneous participating medium. The solutions are compared with those obtained by various methods available in the literature. The SK3 approximation results for geometries of very large and very small aspect ratios are in excellent agreement with those of benchmark solutions. The SK3 solutions with moderate aspect ratios are accurate within several percent.
