TECHNIQUES FOR COMPUTING THE NUMERICAL VALUES OF THE MATRIX ELEMENTS OF THE COLLISION OPERATOR INnTHE COLLISIONAL PLASMA MODEL

摘要

A previous report described the collision operator used in the CPM (Collisional Plasma Model), and presented a rigorous derivation of its matrix elements. This report is concerned with practical techniques for obtaining the numerical values of the matrix elements. It is intended primarily for those who must implement or understand a com¬puter simulation based on the CPM.
