The transient radiative transfer process is studied with a finite volume method (FVM) and an integral equation (IE) model. Propagation of a short light pulse in the three-dimensional absorbing and isotropic scattering media is considered. Collimated irradiation enters at one side of the rectangular medium. The other five boundaries are cold and black, nonparticipating surfaces. The spatial and temporal distributions of the integrated intensity and radiative flux are obtained.
