The modelling of the energy transport via radiative transfer is important to many practical high temperature engineering applications. And, the computation of solutions to the radiative transfer equation (RTE) plays a fundamental part in it. The quasi-random discrete ordinates method was developed as an alternative to mitigate the ray effect found in the classical discrete ordinates method solutions. The former method was originally developed for transport problems with isotropic scattering and it is here extended an applied to a problem with linear anisotropic scattering. Its main idea is to approximate the integral term of the RTE by a quasi-Monte Carlo integration. The discrete system of differential equations arising from it can be solved by a variety of classical discretization methods, and here it is computed with the finite element method. The novel developments are tested for a selected manufactured solution. And, the achieved good results indicate the potential of the novel method to be applied to the solution of radiative transfer problems with anisotropic scattering.
