Scientific paper

A new hydrodynamics code, designed for the purpose of modeling various radiation hydrodynamic processes in classical novae, is described. This code is based on an older code written by G. S. Kutter, W. M. Sparks, S. G. Starrfield, and J. W. Truran, but has been almost entirely rewritten with many additions and modifications. New input physics includes the following: (1) allowance for the decoupling of the gas and radiation temperatures under the assumption of diffusive energy transport, (2) effects of spectral lines on the radiative momentum balance in the outflowing material, and (3) the computation of the formal solution to the transfer equation, used to compute broad-band colors (presently U, B, and V) at various points in the model sequence. A few preliminary results are presented, along with an outline for future short-term and long-term work.
