Abstract
The free surface of a liquid film exposed to a laser beam is deformed and suffers a rupture. Depending on the thermal load intensity and the thermal properties of the liquid the rupture can be accompanied by the formation of secondary droplets over the film crown. This process is investigated using a mathematical model describing the motion of the thin layer of a viscous nonisothermal liquid. The model is based on the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. The boundary conditions at the film-gas and film-liquid interfaces necessary for the solution of these equations are derived in the explicit form. The results of the solution of model problems are presented.
