Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The method is described and the results are presented for numerical calculations of a system of equations of nonsteady gasdynamics, radiation transfer in the continuous spectrum, and the kinetics of collisional ionization and ionization by radiation, which describe the dispersion and cooling of a spherical volume of He. A comparison is made with calculations performed on the assumption of thermodynamic equilibrium.
