Macrokinetics of laser-induced chemical reactions in gases

This paper deals with the problem of laser radiation interaction with chemical gas. The review of numerical simulation results on the basis of three different models is presented. The main modes of the system behavior and the conditions, with various processes (diffusion, thermoconductivity, thermal diffusion, heat effect of the reaction and others) contributing to their realization, have been established. Theorems about the convergence of finite difference schemes have been proved.
