Multifrequency-gray method for radiation diffusion with Compton scattering (Q1891060): Difference between revisions

The author describes an improved multifrequency-gray method for time dependent nonequilibrium flux-limited radiation diffusion in a high- temperature system, using a two-temperature model for electrons and ions and including energy exchange between photons and electrons by Compton scattering. The gray equation has a nonsymmetric finite difference matrix that allows to represent negative gray diffusion coefficients, which occur in the presence of a ``greenhouse'' effect, in a numerical stable manner. Numerical results are presented.
