AbstractHDUST is a 3D, NLTE radiative transfer code based on the Monte Carlo method. We report on recent advancements on the code, which is now capable of handling He and other elements in the NLTE regime and in 3D configurations. In this contribution we show initial comparisons with CMFGEN, made with spherical wind models composed of H + He.

A time-dependent distribution of ratios of energy scattered by the medium or reflected by the boundary surfaces (DRESOR) method was proposed to solve the transient radiative transfer in a one-dimensional slab. This slab is filled with an absorbing, scattering, and nonemitting medium and exposed to a collimated, incident serial pulse with different pulse shapes and pulse widths. The time-dependent DRESOR values, representing the temporal response of an instantaneous, incident pulse with unit energy and the same incident direction as that for the serial pulse, were proposed and calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The temporal radiative intensity inside the medium with high directional resolution can be obtained from the time-dependent DRESOR values. The transient incident radiation results obtained by the DRESOR method were compared to those obtained with the Monte Carlo method, and good agreements were achieved. Influences of the pulse shape and width, reflectivity of the boundary, scattering albedo, optical thickness, and anisotropic scattering on the transient radiative transfer, especially the temporal response along different directions, were investigated.

The concept of multiple Markov chains is applied to the study of radiative heat transfer problems. A stochastic method for calculating radiative interchange in enclosures consisting of a number of isothermal surfaces with directional-bidirectional properties is developed. In this work, the Monte Carlo method is employed for calculating the multiple transition probabilities. Numerical examples have been presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the present approach.
