The 1988 paper by Truelove [1] is one of the pioneering works in this field wherein traditional DO formulations were adapted to radiative transfer problems, and has impacted both the science and the technology related to large-scale combustion chambers since it was published. The following is a short introduction to this seminal JQSRT paper.engrestrictedAccessA retrospective view on‘‘3-dimensional radiation in absorbing, emitting and scattering media using discrete-ordinates approximation’’by J.S.TruelovecontributionToPeriodical111111644164500027926570001710.1016/j.jqsrt.2010.01.022Radiative transferRectangular enclosuresDiscrete-ordinates approximationAbsorptionScattering2-s2.0-77953615515
