A well-balanced scheme for a transport equation with varying velocity and irregular opacities

An equation for photons containing a frequency drift term modeling the Doppler effects and an emission absorption coefficient is considered. On the one hand, this frequency drift term involves a coefficient κ relative to the fluid velocity with which the photons interac...
