A COMSOL Multiphysics- Mathematics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) in COMSOL Multiphysics, particularly the challenges of defining the integral term related to scattering and establishing three-variable dependence on position, time, and direction vector. Users are encouraged to share specific problems and attempts to receive targeted assistance. It is suggested that handling the differential part as a PDE before incorporating the integral for scattering may not be effective. A resource link is provided for further guidance on accounting for radiation in participating media. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the complexities of RTE for successful modeling.

TL;DR Summary
Mathematics module of COMSOL
Hi everyone, Has anyone tried to model Radiative Transfer equation on comsol? I am stuck at defining the integral term which includes scattering. Also , how do i make my functions have 3 variable dependence as RTE has dependence on position, time and direction vector

I want to model this equation

I used Coefficient form PDE.

but i am not sure how to define s^ (direction vector)
not able to define the integration either.

how do i add integral terms to differential equations?

how can i make my function dependent on 3 variables(s, r and t)

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
