What is it about?
In the modeling of pulsed laser ablation of metals, the material is progressively removed due to vaporization and different mechanisms. The continuous removal of material results in a moving boundary condition in the formulation of the laser heat conduction problem. This paper demonstrates how such a problem can be solved using finite element analysis.
