Computational Solutions in Body-Fitted Coordinates of Electric Fields in Externally Sustained Discharges

Abstract

Computer codes for modeling electric fields within the cavity of externally sustained electric discharge lasers have been developed. These codes use semidirect/marching methods in body-fitted coordinates and are fast enough to make interactive design practical.
