Present Status of Rarefied Gas Dynamics Approach to the Structure of a Laser Induced Evaporating Jet

摘要

With reference to the relation between the state of the surface and the measurements downstream in the dynamic laser pulse technique, the problems arising in connection with the study of the structure of a jet evaporating into a vacuum are investigated. Particular attention is paid by the gas surface interaction, internal degrees of freedom, presence of more than one species and chemical reactions.
