| Summary: | The paper presents the solution of the spatial transient problem of the impact of a moving heat flux source induced by the laser radiation on the surface of a half-space using the superposition principle and the method of transient functions. The hyperbolic equation of transient thermal conductivity accounting for the relaxation time is used to model the laser heating process. It is assumed that the heat flux is distributed symmetrically with respect to the center of the heating spot. The combined numerical and analytical algorithm has been developed and implemented, which allows one to determine the temperature distribution both on the surface and on the depth of the half-space. In this case, the principle of superposition is used with the use of a special symmetric Gaussian distribution to describe the model of a source of high-intensity heat flux. The use of such a symmetric distribution made it possible to calculate the integrals over the spatial variables analytically. The results of the work could be used to estimate the contribution of the conductive component in the overall heat transfer of materials exposed to intense heat flows (laser surface treatment, laser additive technologies, streamlining and heating of materials by high-enthalpy gases, etc.).
