Title: Computation of the nonequilibrium flow in a gas dynamic laser

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5767419

A three-modes-four temperatures vibrational relaxation model for a CO2-N2-H2O laser system is presented, and a set of fairly rigorous relaxation equations given. A series of problems related to computations of pseudo-one-dimensional nonequilibrium flows was analyzed and massive numerical computations using data obtained, were carried out for the rate of relaxation.
