A general approach to solving the rate equations for ionisation-recombination processes in a plasma
Description
The aim of the present work is to develop computer models for the atomic physics processes in a partially ionised time evolving plasma. Such models must be efficient and accurate as they are intended to supplement an MHD description of the plasma in computer codes. Instead of solving for the ionisation fractions directly, the method used here solves for the moments of the distribution function of the ionisation stages. (orig./GG)
Abstract (German)
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung von Computermodellen der atomphysikalischen Prozesse in einem teilweise ionisierten zeitlich veraenderlichen Plasma. Solche Modelle muessen wirkungsvoll und genau sein, da sie als Ergaenzung zur MHD-Beschreibung von Plasmen vorgesehen sind. Die hier verwendete Methode berechnet nicht direkt die verschiedenen Ionisationsgrade, sondern die Momente der Verteilungsfunktion der Ionisationsstufen. (orig./GG)Additional details
