Numerical analysis of a diffusion-type turbulent chemical HF laser in the amplification mode
Abstract
The results are studied of a numerical analysis of the optical characteristics of the working medium of a diffusion-type turbulent chemical HF laser in the absence of an electromagnetic field. The influence of cavity pressure and the parameters of the mixing (F and H2) flows on the gain, the maximal obtainable energy, and the coefficient of chemical energy conversion is analyzed for a certain geometrical configuration of the flow. The numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of 'hydrodynamic' control of energy conversion processes in a chemical laser of this type at elevated working-medium pressures in the cavity.
