Abstract

The article presents development of a new heat transfer model for calculating temperature distribution in porous and non-porous materials during laser cutting. The novelty of this model lies in incorporating melting and vaporization progression of porous media during laser interaction. The modelling has been implemented through a transient finite difference scheme and the results have been validated against experimental data of cutting various materials by laser including rock and metals.
