Notes:
The blast wave theory coupled with ionization described by the Saha equations and the charge conservation equation, are used to calculate the time-dependent, spatial distribution of the number densities of the different species of a plasma formed on a carbon surface. The temporal behavior of the normalized intensity profiles of the C i (247.8 nm) and C ii (251.1 nm) lines and the Stark shifts of the C i (247.8 nm) line from 0.1 to 0.4 μs are obtained. Good agreement is found between theoretical and experimental time-dependent, normalized, line intensity profiles and Stark shift profiles.
