Abstract
The three-dimensional unsteady problem of the action of a localized radiation pulse on an aluminum plate of finite thickness in a tangential airflow is solved on the basis of the Euler equations in the gas phase and the heat conduction equation in the solid. The process is accompanied by the intense evaporation of plate material and the subsequent (after the action of the radiation pulse ceases) intense condensation of aluminum vapor and condensate particles on the surface. The problem is solved on the assumption that the surface is not screened by its disintegration products and the processes associated with the self-radiation of the gas are disregarded. Heat pulses of intensityq=106−107 W/cm2 and durationt i ≈10−4 sec are investigated. Various regimes are calculated and the effect of the governing parameters on the impulse transmitted to the surface and ablation of the target material is established. A nontraditional approach, based on the idea of statistical modeling of the motion of an inviscid non-heat-conducting gas at the kinetic level, is used for solving the gas dynamic problem. The application of the approach in question to the solution of problems of this class is justified.
