Abstract
RAD-TRAP computes the solution of the Holstein equation of radiation t rapping for three important geometries: plane-parallel slab, long cyli nder, and sphere. The new version 2 offers the direct computation of t he steady-state distribution of excited atoms and the computation of t he emergent spectra; effects like self-reversal can now be studied. It also includes a new algorithm for a more efficient, highly accurate c omputation of the cylinder case. The new version also runs on IBM-PCs.
