Abstract

A qualitative analysis of changes in hydrodynamic parameters during keyhole formation by thermocapillary melt removal under the point action of CW laser radiation is presented. It is established that rapid surface deformation leads to adhesion of the viscous sublayer to the melting boundary and creation the shear structure of thermocapillary flow which stimulates acceleration of keyhole growth.
