<p>Dear FLASH Users,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I was wondering whether FLASH is capable of calculating photoionization.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am aware of the optically thick MGD module, but I believe this only takes the influence of radiation on pressure and energy into account.<br>
</p>
<p>There is also the Ionization module, but I think this only considers collisional ionization using the conditions of the gas.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I found a past question that asked the same thing, and was directed to a paper:<br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.08987v1.pdf">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.08987v1.pdf</a><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>While this is photoionization, it seems to be photoionization from a radiation source as opposed to photoionization due to radiation produced by the gas itself.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So I wanted to ask if anyone was aware of an addition to FLASH that could be used to calculate the effects of photoionization.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Kind Regards,<br>
