We present a light curve model for the super-Eddington luminosity phase of five classical novae observed with IUE .
Optical and UV light curves are calculated based on the optically thick wind theory with a reduced effective opacity for a porous atmosphere .
Fitting a model light curve with the UV 1455 Å light curve , we determine the white dwarf mass and distance to be ( 1.3 ~ { } M _ { \odot } , 4.4 kpc ) for ( catalog V693 CrA ) , ( 1.05 ~ { } M _ { \odot } , 1.8 kpc ) for ( catalog V1974 Cyg ) , ( 0.95 ~ { } M _ { \odot } , 4.1 kpc ) for ( catalog V1668 Cyg ) , ( 1.0 ~ { } M _ { \odot } , 2.1 kpc ) for ( catalog V351 Pup ) , and ( 1.0 ~ { } M _ { \odot } , 4.3 kpc ) for ( catalog OS And ) .
