IONMIX - a code for computing the equation of state and radiative properties of LTE and non-LTE plasmas

Abstract
A detailed description of a code developed to compute the energetics and radiative properties of high temperature, low-to-moderate density plasmas is presented. Steady-state ionization and excitation populations are determined by detailed balancing arguments and rate coefficients based on the hydrogenic ion approximation. We consider contributions from bound-bound, bound-free, free-free and electron scattering processes in evaluating extinction and emission coefficients at several hundred wel...

Nature of problem
The thermodynamic and radiative properties of hot plasmas are often required in studying a wide variety of physical phenomena. Examples of these include hydrodynamic and radiative energy transport in astrophysical and fusion plasmas. The physical conditions of plasmas considered in this paper range from a relatively high density regime, where three-body collisions dominate all atomic processes, to a low density regime where two-body radiative processes become important. In the collisionally domi ...
