Time-dependent radiation transfer with Rayleigh scattering in finite slab media

The time-dependent radiation transfer equation in a finite plane geometry with Rayleigh scattering is studied. The traveling wave transformation is used to obtain the corresponding stationary-like equation. Pomraning-Eddington approximation is then used to find the solution. Numerical results for reflectivity at the left boundary and transmissivity from the right boundary are presented at different times. The medium is assumed to have specular-reflecting boundaries with angular-dependent externally incident flux. Two different weight functions are introduced to force the boundary conditions to fulfill.
