The physics of photon transport and its interaction in a medium is best described on the basis o 4 classical electromagnetic wave theory, viz. Maxwell equations [Ishamaru, 1978~, b]. If phase information is deemed unimportant, then fates, migrations and interactions of photons in the medium may be considered instead of electromagnetic fields. This results in the theory of radiative transfer that describes the particle nature of radiation and its transport [Chandrasekhar, 1960; Sobolev, 1975].The problem of neutral particle transport has been extensively pursued by investigators in such diverse disciplines as Astrophysics, Atmospheric Physics, Biology, Engineering Design, Laser Beam Propagation and Interactions, Metallurgy, Nuclear Engineering, Remote Sensing, etc. Transport theory has a wide range of applications in cases such as computation of scattered intensities in planetary and terrestrial atmospheres, in vegetative and aquatic media, distribution of heat in combustion chambers and coal-fired furnaces, and in distribution of neutrons and gamma rays in and around nuclear reactors for criticality calculations and shielding purposes. The generic theory of neutral particle transport can be found in the classical works of Davison (1958), Chandrasekhar (1960), Sobolev (1975), Duderstadt and Martin (1979) and Van de Hulst (1980).
