  • Abstract
    Three-dimensional, time-dependent solutions of the reacting flow Navier-Stokes equations are applied simulations of chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) hardware. The presented simulations examine various aspects of COIL physics and performance, including mixing nozzle performance as related to flow unsteadiness and diffuser performance as determined by shock-boundary layer interactions.
