Four-D propagation code for high-energy laser beams: a user's manual

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7332358· OSTI ID:7332358
This manual describes the use and structure of the June 30, 1976 version of the Four-D propagation code for high energy laser beams. It provides selected sample output from a typical run and from several debug runs. The Four-D code now includes the important noncoplanar scenario feature. Many problems that required excessive computer time can now be meaningfully simulated as steady-state noncoplanar problems with short run times.
