The BRL Nonequilibrium Nuclear Fireball Code: THUNDERBALL,

Abstract

The BRL nuclear-fireball code THUNDERBALL is described. It is a nonequilibrium, time-dependent, radiation-hydrodynamics, photon transport, and atmospheric response code, which computes nonequilibrium atomic-ionic, molecular ionic, and free-electron densities relevant to radar absorption and blackout.
