Abstract: | An approximate method is proposed which makes it possible to compute the radiation flux and its divergence when the absorption cross section depends in a complex manner on the wavelength. Radiation scattering is ignored. The method is described for the case when the region occupied by the radiating and absorbing gas can be divided into finite number of subregions in which the temperature and the chemical composition are constant. Examples are given of the numerical calculations of the radiation flux.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 2, pp. 54–62, March–April, 1971.The author wishes to express his gratitude to É. Filippova for help in the computations. |
