Abstract
Recent work by McClarren & Hauck [29] suggests that the filtered spherical
harmonics method represents an efficient, robust, and accurate method for
radiation transport, at least in the two-dimensional (2D) case. We extend their
work to the three-dimensional (3D) case and find that all of the advantages of
the filtering approach identified in 2D are present also in the 3D case. We
reformulate the filter operation in a way that is independent of the timestep
and of the spatial discretization. We also explore different second- and
fourth-order filters and find that the second-order ones yield significantly
better results. Overall, our findings suggest that the filtered spherical
harmonics approach represents a very promising method for 3D radiation
transport calculations.
