A new method of chemical generation of atomic iodine for a COIL was investigated. This method is based on the gas phase reactions of hydrogen iodide with chlorine or fluorine atoms, which are also produced chemically. Simplified one-dimensional gas dynamic modeling describing the stream-wise profiles of species concentrations within both reaction systems is used to gain a theoretical understanding of both systems under COIL conditions and to interpret experimeental results.
