JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER
The extension of the atomic kinetics code suite FLY to a multi-cell postpro
cessor for hydrodynamic plasma simulation codes, called SWARM is presented.
First, the collisional radiative model on which FLY is based is reviewed a
s far as it corresponds to the model in SWARM, then more attention is paid
to the differences. Multiple cell simulations require a more complicated al
gorithm to solve the radiative transfer problem, taking into account geomet
ry and point of observation. The feedback of the radiation on the atomic st
ate populations is taken into account in a more sophisticated escape factor
model. Finally, the limitations of the model are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsev
