Abstract :
Simulations of gas lasers are performed to examine high power gas laser components. These simulations are performed in a manner that illustrates the application of high performance computing to achieve an increased understanding of the physics underlying gas lasers, and improve their operation. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations coupled to a geometric optics resonator model for the chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) are executed to provide this information.
