Valid when density variations are small (i.e., small variations in T).
For unsteady solver, Boussinesq model or Ideal gas law can be used.

Only first term in this (rapidly converging) series used in P-1 model.
Effects of particles, droplets, and soot can be included.
Radiative transfer equation easy to solve with little CPU demand.
Includes effect of scattering.
Works reasonably well for combustion applications where optical
thickness is large.
Easily applied to complicated geometries with curvilinear coordinates.
