Implementation of kinetics of phase transitions into hydrocode for simulation of laser ablation

Mikhail E. Povarnitsyn, Pavel R. Levashov, Konstantin V. Khishchenko

We model an interaction of femtosecond laser pulses (800 nm, 100 fs, 1-100 TW/cm${}^2$) with metal targets (Al, Au, Cu, and Ni). A detailed analysis of laser-induced phase transition…
