2D-simulation of the system: laser beam + laser plasma + target

The simulation is based on a set of two-dimensional transient equations of gas dynamics with two-dimensional radiation transfer equation completed by heat transfer equation for condensed phase. The influence of the laser radiation wavelength and the choice of the diameter of the initial high-temperature region in the gas phase (i.e. the region of optical breakdown) on the laser plasma dynamics and the transfer of the laser and plasma radiation energy to the target are analyzed.
