FIREBALL PHENOMENOLOGY AND CODE DEVELOPMENT. VOLUME VI. EXTENSIONS OF THE PHYSICS.
Abstract
Methods are presented for broadening the range of physical phenomena which can be described in fireball calculations. Theoretical descriptions of retardation effects and Compton scattering are developed in a form suitable for numerical solution of the radiation-transport equation and the associated numerical approximations are discussed. Preliminary applications to test problems of these descriptions are also reported. A theoretical basis is presented for including the effects of the nonequilibrium chemical composition of low-temperature air in the description of the fireball precursor. A numerical method for including these chemical effects in a fireball calculation is described. Preliminary work on the radiative structure of a strong shock is reported. (Author)
