A procedure for numerical simulation of the steady, two-phase vibrationally unequilibrated flow in a mixing gasdynamic laser working on a mixture of CO2-N2-H2O-O2 and Al2O3 particles (generated by combustion of aluminum in air) is described. The one-dimensional approximation is used. One assumes instantaneous mixing of the components in a specific nozzle cross section. The effect of size and relative flowrate of particles on the output parameters of the laser is described. It is concluded that a correction for the presence of two phases in the flow must be made in calculating the output parameters of this laser. 15 references.
