报告内容简介:The Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM) is the most widely used velocity discretization method for simulating kinetic models. However, the ray effect is a long-standing drawback of DOM. In benchmark tests that exhibit the ray effect, we observe low regularity in the velocity variable of the solution. To address this issue, we propose a Random Ordinate Method (ROM) to mitigate the ray effect. Compared to other strategies proposed in the literature for mitigating the ray effect, ROM offers several advantages: 1) For benchmark tests that exhibit the ray effect, the computational cost is lower than that of DOM; 2) it is simple and requires minimal changes to existing DOM-based code; 3) it is easily parallelizable and independent of the problem setup. We apply the ROM to the steady-state radiative transport equation and the BGK model. Numerical tests demonstrate the reduction in computational cost compared to DOM, as well as its effectiveness in mitigating the ray effect. Moreover, the convergence orders of the error and bias are provided both numerically and theoretically.
