Abstract:

A survey of modeling capability for predicting chemical laser performance has been carried out. Optics, kinetics and gasdynamics codes are included in the survey. Seventy-eight separate codes developed at thirteen research centers are covered in this report. Both quick-look summaries and more in-depth summary sheets have been prepared for each code. A supplementary narrative section provides introductory material concerning code features and capabilities as well as explanation of terminology used on the survey forms. This document is intended as a comparison of code features and as an introduction to capabilities of individual codes.
