Analytic and Numerical Chemistry Algorithms for the WORRY Code. WORRY Document No. 2

Abstract

The WORRY Chemistry Package computes the nonequilibrium chemical behavior of a parcel of air in a quiescent or disturbed environment. Such a computation requires the solution of a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations derived from the set of reactions in which the atomic and molecular species of the parcel participate. The Chemistry Package may solve this set of differential equations by either of two methods: a standard numerical integration or an analytic algorithm. The procedures used in the analytic algorithm are described in detail and comparisons with the numerical solutions are shown.
