In http://www.lucene.com/publications.html you will find many answers to your questions. The papers "An Object-Oriented Architecture for Text Retrieval" and "Optimizations for Dynamic Inverted Index Maintenance" will be especially helpful for your understanding of Lucene.

Hi again! I should really reword my question as follows: On which criteria are relevant documents chosen given a particular query and once retrieved, how are these documents ranked? The techniques by which this is done will then determine what type of IR model Lucene implements. Thanks again!
