Discussion on plasma shock waves generated by high-power pulsed laser
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Sedov-Taylor theory is modified to describe plasma shock waves generated in a pulsed laser ablating process. Under the reasonable asymptotic behavior and boundary conditions, the propagating rules in the global free space (including close areas and mid-far areas) of pulsed-laser-induced shock waves are established for the first time. In particular, the temporal behavior of energy causing the difference of the propagation characteristics between the practical plasma shock wave and the ideal shock wave in point explosion model is discussed in detail.
