Drop explosion under the effect of intense laser radiation
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental studies of the explosive vaporization of drops under the effect of intense laser radiation are surveyed with particular emphasis on the physical side of the phenomenon and the development of a model of the process. Particular consideration is given to drop explosion as an optothermodynamic process, the explosion-fragmentation regime, and the gasdynamic explosion regime. Experimental data on the explosion of drops under the effect of CO2-laser radiation are examined.
