RAD-TRAP 2, a program for the solution of the Holstein equation of radiation trapping
Description
Abstract RAD-TRAP computes the solution of the Holstein equation of radiation trapping for three important geometries: plane-parallel slab, long cylinder, and sphere. The new version 2 offers the direct computation of the steady-state distribution of excited atoms and the computation of the emergent spectra; effects like self-reversal can now be studied. It also includes a new algorithm for a more efficient, highly accurate computation of the cylinder case. The new version also runs on IBM-PCs. ...
