Application of Study on Liquid Ablation in Laser Propulsion

Abstract:

It was found that evaporation and thermal elastic stress wave and cavity were dominant phenomenon in laser-induced ablation propulsion with liquid propellant according to our perceptual knowledge established in relative experiment and by analysis of physical mechanism of laser-induced ablation of liquid. The research result of the above phenomenon was introduced in this paper in order to give some elicitations to the researchers who were interested in the mechanism of laser propulsion with liquid ablation.
