Principles of Invariance in Transport Theory.

T. W. Mullikin

ResearchPublished 1961

Part of Rand's work for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on problems arising in the propagation of radiation through planetary atmospheres. This Memorandum treats of the transfer of radiation with a general anisotropic scattering function in a plane-parallel atmosphere in which nonhomogeneities are allowed only in the direction normal to the plane stratification. It derives, from the linear transport equation, two principles of invariance due to Chandrasekhar and illustrates the technique that might be used to derive other
