Abstract

It is shown that the regular part of the solution (RPS) remained after the separation of the anisotropic part of the solution (APS) in the small-angle modification of the spherical harmonics method (MSH) is a smooth quasi-isotropic function with some peaks in the angular distribution. The smooth part of the RPS without peaks can be determined in two-streaming or diffuse approximation. The first iteration of the resulting radiance angular distribution significantly refines the solution and allows restoring the specified angular peaks. Quasi-diffusion approach - the separation of APS by MSH, the definition of RPS in the diffuse approximation and refinement of solutions based on the first iteration, - is independent of the problem symmetry, and therefore can be generalized to the case of arbitrary medium geometry.
