A Repository to model the radiance and scattering of light in a slab of material using the P3 approximation.
We simulate the scattering and propagation of light in a medium of rectangular slab geometry. We use the radiative transfer equation to model the radiance using the P3 approximation for the modeeling of the solution of the equation.
