Title: Techniques for computing the numerical values of the matrix elements of the collision operator in the collisional plasma model

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7350321· OSTI ID:7350321

A previous report (ORNL/TM-5314, (1976)) described the collision operator used in the CPM (Collisional Plasma Model), and presented a rigorous derivation of its matrix elements. This report is concerned with practical techniques for obtaining the numerical values of the matrix elements. It is intended primarily for those who must implement or understand a computer simulation based on the CPM.
