The paper titled "Radiance Cascades: A Novel High-Resolution Formal Solution for Multidimensional Non-LTE Radiative Transfer" by Christopher M. J. Osborne and Alexander Sannikov presents a new method for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) radiative transfer, which is crucial for astrophysics. Traditional methods for computing radiation fields in multidimensional solar models often require high angular resolution, especially in complex atmospheric structures. The authors introduce the concept of radiance cascades, which allows for efficient reuse of calculated samples, resulting in high-resolution outcomes at a significantly reduced computational cost. This method is implemented in the DexRT code and is demonstrated through initial results from a magnetohydrodynamic model of a solar prominence. The proposed approach aims to eliminate ray effects in multidimensional radiative transfer calculations and is designed to scale effectively with next-generation high-performance computing systems that utilize GPU accelerators.

2 commentsThis paper uses it in the context of astrophysics, but it has a good up-to-date explanation of the algorithm in general, not limited to astrophysics.
However, a quick search shows that this technique is already popular on the Internet. There are some GitHub repositories you can find.
But I especially like the videos by Mytino [1]. Has anyone seen any 3D versions yet?
