Product Description
Outlining the basics of phenomenological transfer theory, this book provides a medium statistical wave treatment of radiative transport processes. The authors examine non-traditional phenomena for transfer theory, bringing the advances of transfer theory as close as possible to the practical need of those working in all areas of wave physics. The transport equation is derived from first principles, and the ensuing discussion of the equation is illustrated by practical examples from all areas of physics. This text bridges the gap between the simple power balance description in radiative transfer theory and modern coherence theory.
