A thin metal film subjected to an ultrashort laser pulse is considered. With a sufficiently high laser intensity the process of the film heating may cause metal melting and even ablation. In this work, the numerical model of the melting and resolidification processes is presented. The mathematical model is based on the dual phase lag equation in which two positive constants appear, this means the relaxation and thermalization times. The considered equation contains a second-order time derivative and higher order mixed derivative in both time and space and should be supplemented by the appropriate boundary and initial conditions. The model of the melting and resolidification is presented in two versions. The first can be called ‘the introduction of the artificial mushy zone sub-domain’, while the second ‘the two forms of the basic energy equation’. At the stage of numerical computations, the implicit scheme of the finite difference method is used. The numerical algorithm is tested for the two proposed models which are applied to the computations concerning the thermal processes occurring in the cylindrical micro-domain (chromium, gold) subjected to an ultrashort laser pulse.

The process of partial melting and resolidification of a thin metal film subjected to a high-power laser beam is considered. The mathematical model of the process is based on the second-order dual phase lag equation (DPLE). Until now, this equation has not been used for the modeling of phase changes associated with heating and cooling of thin metal films and the considerations regarding this issue are the most important part of the article. In the basic energy equation, the internal heat sources associated with the laser action and the evolution of phase change latent heat are taken into account. Thermal processes in the domain of pure metal (chromium) are analyzed and it is assumed that the evolution of latent heat occurs at a certain interval of temperature to which the solidification point was conventionally extended. This approach allows one to introduce the continuous function corresponding to the volumetric fraction of solid or liquid state at the neighborhood of the point considered, which significantly simplifies the phase changes modeling. At the stage of numerical computations, the authorial program based on the implicit scheme of the finite difference method (FDM) was used. In the final part of the paper, the examples of numerical computations (including the results of simulations for different laser intensities and different characteristic times of laser pulse) are presented and the conclusions are formulated.

Abstract Thermal processes in domain of thin metal film subjected to a strong laser pulse are discussed. The heating of domain considered causes the melting and next (after the end of beam impact) the resolidification of metal superficial layer. The laser action (a time dependent bell-type function) is taken into account by the introduction of internal heat source in the energy equation describing the heat transfer in domain of metal film. Taking into account the extremely short duration, extreme temperature gradients and very small geometrical dimensions of the domain considered, the mathematical model of the process is based on the dual phase lag equation supplemented by the suitable boundary-initial conditions. To model the phase transitions the artificial mushy zone is introduced. At the stage of numerical modeling the Control Volume Method is used. The examples of computations are also presented.
