Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a new concept of the hybrid method that has been introduced as a combination of 4-flux method with coefficients predicted from a Monte Carlo statistical model to take into account the actual 3D geometry of the problem under study. In this paper, we recall the evaluation of the method, estimation of the coefficients and the results of numerical simulations. We also present a comparison of the hybrid method with the results obtained from Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law and from the Monte Carlo simulations for a wide range of monodisperse particle size distributions.
