Abstract
Preliminary work on the inclusion of radiation pressure on molecules in the atmospheres of Mira variables is discussed. Parameterization of the radiation force is considered as an alternative to a simultaneous solution of the equation of radiative transfer and of the equations of hydrodynamics in order to simplify the treatment of gas motions in the outer envelopes of these long-period variables.
