| description | Short and ultrashort pulse lasers offer excellent advantages in laser precision machining mainly because of their high pulse energy and low ablation threshold. The complex process of laser interaction with metals limits the in-depth investigation into laser ablation. Numerical simulation is important in the study of fundamental mechanisms. This review explores the start-of-the-art methods for the theoretical simulation of the laser ablation of metals, including plasma formation and expansion. Laser-induced period surface structures are also studied. |
