Abstract

A modified Monte Carlo (MC) method has been developed for solving transient radiative transfer in a one-dimensional scattering medium with a graded refractive index. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the algorithm are validated initially. With the introduction of time shift and superposition principle into the MC model, the computational efficiency is greatly improved. We make a comparative analysis of the time-resolved incident radiation (and radiative heat flux) distributions in the media with diffuse and specular reflection boundaries. Results show that the temporal and spatial radiative signals of the medium with specular reflection boundaries greatly differ from those having diffuse reflection boundaries.
