This paper investigates the numerical solution of linear Boltzmann equations. Finite Element Methods are applied to the advection and the scattering operator. An efficient error estimation technique is presented together with a consistent mesh refinement criterion. The solution process on a parallel computer is analyzed and the applicability of the theory is validated by numerical results for problems derived from astrophysical settings.
