Abstract

A formulation of radiative transfer is discussed describing energy flow in a turbulent mixture in the vicinity of a Rayleigh–Taylor unstable interface, as might be extant in an ICF pellet. Included in this discussion are (1) the method of smoothing and the Liouville master equation approaches in the case of Markovian statistics as the description of the fluid mixing, (2) the use of asymptotics to derive various limiting descriptions of the Markov model, (3) the use of the theory of alternating renewal processes to obtain an integral equation formulation for non-Markovian statistics, and (4) the reduction of this non-Markovian integral formulation to integro-differential equations of the generic transport form, with statistical effects represented by pseudoscattering terms.
