nPhi 4; // azimuthal angles in PI/2 on X-Y.
//(from Y to X)
nTheta 0; // polar angles in PI (from Z to X-Y plane)

maxIter 4; // maximum number of iterations
cacheDiv true; // cache the div of the RTE equation.
//NOTE: Caching div is "only" accurate if the upwind scheme is used
//in div(Ji,Ii_h)
}
solverFreq 1; // Number of flow iterations per radiation iteration
\endverbatim
The total number of solid angles is 4*nPhi*nTheta.
In 1D the direction of the rays is X (nPhi and nTheta are ignored)
In 2D the direction of the rays is on X-Y plane (only nPhi is considered)
In 3D (nPhi and nTheta are considered)
Thanks! This is very helpful.
It gave me a general idea of what I will be studying
many thanks
