Title: Flow calculation in the high power laser wind tunnel: case of a discharge in a pure supersonic flow

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5706845

The flow in the ISL high power CO/sub 2/ laser wind tunnel was investigated taking into consideration phenomena related to the excitation and vibration relaxation of the gas. The calculation was based on a theoretical model leading to a first order differential equation system of classical form which is solved by using the Runge-Kutta method. A detailed description is presented of the FORTRAN 4 computer program written for an IBM 370/135.
