Abstract: We develop a collocation spectral method (CSM) to address radiative transfer in a semitransparent anisotropic scattering cylindrical medium with graded index and space-dependent albedo. Accuracy and validity of the method is verified with exact solutions available in literature and other methods. CSM is found effective in obtaining radiative flux in graded index medium. And few nodes are enough to obtain accurate results.
