Scientific paper

PULSAR is a subscale closed-cycle, high-energy, pulsed, Electric Discharge Laser (EDL) fabricated at the Air Force Weapons Lab (AFWL) for the purpose of studying technology issues related to closed-cycle laser operation. A computer code has been written for PULSAR that describes the thermodynamic and fluid transient performance of the gas loop. A description of the PULSAR loop is presented, together with steady-state and transient performance predictions. Experimental data is compared to predicted performance parameters, and a description of the code is presented to illustrate generalized techniques which can be applied to other closed-cycle systems.
