Abstract

A time-dependent collisional radiative model, based on a five-charge state at any spacetime point in the plasma, is elaborated in order to follow the basic atomic physics processes in a plasma undergoing ionization and recombination. This model can either be used independently or be included in a magnetohydrodynamics code of a transient plasma. In the latter case, the efficiency of the model makes it particularly useful in saving computing time of hydrodynamic codes developed in connection with ion-driven fusion.
