Abstract

In laser drilling process, the material removal involves with evaporation at the surface, liquid ejection, and solid heating. However, liquid ejection vanishes for the lasers with the pulse length within the rage and higher than the nanoseconds. However, in drilling applications mass removal by liquid ejection is desirable because the rate of material removed becomes high. Analytical modeling the laser heating process in relation to drilling is difficult, since process involves with the phase change and fluid flow due to the evaporation at the surface. However, numerical modeling is feasible with some useful assumptions.
