Figure 1:
Schematic sketch of the different
types of characteristics used in the framework. The left panel
shows the long characteristics, the right panel the short characteristics.
The voxel boundaries and centers ('' symbols) are indicated.
The '' denote the points between which the geometric distance
is used to compute optical depth steps.

Figure 2:
Comparison of the results obtained
for the LTE test with the 1D solver ( symbols) and the 3D solver.
The axis shows the distances from the center of the sphere, the
axis the of the mean intensity.
|
Figure 3:
Comparison of the results obtained
for the scattering dominated (
) test with the 1D solver ( symbols) and the 3D solver.
The axis shows the distances from the center of the sphere, the
axis the of the mean intensity. The top panel shows the
results for a (spatial; solid angle) grid with points, the middle panel
for points and the bottom panel for points.

Figure 6:
Mean intensity surface at the
face for the test case
with
with spatial points and
solid angle points. The axes are labeled
by voxel index with
being the center of the
voxel grid.

Figure 7:
Convergence properties
of the codes for the
test case. The labels
indicate the different methods used. The 3D test runs use
spatial and angular points.
|
Figure 8:
Convergence properties
of the codes for the
test case and different grid sizes. The labels
indicate the different grid sizes used, all but the iteration use
the nearest neighbor operator with Ng acceleration.
|
Figure 9:
Convergence properties of the
test case for various
operator bandwidth choices with and without
Ng acceleration.
|
Figure 10:
Comparison of the results obtained
for the scattering dominated (
) test with the 1D solver ( symbols) and the 3D solver.
The axis shows the distances from the center of the sphere, the
axis the of the mean intensity. The graph shows the
results for a (spatial; solid angle) grid with points. Note
the large dynamic range (12 dex) of the mean intensities.
|
Figure 11:
Comparison of the results obtained
for the scattering dominated (
) test with the 1D solver ( symbols) and the 3D solver
for slices along the , , and axes.
The plot shows the
results for a (spatial; solid angle) grid with points. Note
the large dynamic range (12 dex) of the mean intensities.
|
Figure 12:
Convergence properties
of the codes for the
test case. The labels
indicate the different methods used. These test runs use
spatial and angular points.
|
Figure 13:
Convergence properties
of the codes for the
test case and different angular grid sizes. The labels
indicate the different grid sizes used, all but the iteration use
the nearest neighbor operator with Ng acceleration.

Figure 18:
Scaling properties of the MPI version
of the 3D RT code for parallel clusters based on Opterons and G5 CPUs.
In absolute scales the G5s are about 30% faster than the Opterons.
|
Figure 19:
Comparison of the mean intensity contour
plots for the test case with
with spatial points and
solid angle points. The left panel shows the results obtained with the
short characteristics method whereas the right panel shows the results of
the long characteristics method. The axes are labeled by
voxel index with
being the center of the voxel grid. Each
plot shows one outside face of the voxel cube (the physical scales are the same
an all directions).
