Cretin - a radiative transfer capability for laboratory plasmas

This paper describes the multi-dimensional non-local thermodynamic equilibr ium simulation code Cretin, Cretin self-consistently combines atomic kineti cs and radiation transport in a framework suitable for modeling laboratory plasmas. This paper describes the formulations present in the code, illustr ating their use in several applications. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
