laserbeamFoam: Laser ray-tracing and thermally induced state transition simulation toolkit

The application of high energy density photonic sources to the surface of metallic substrates causes localised topological evolution as the interface deforms due to hydrodynamic forces through fusion and vapourisation state transitions. Understanding how this laser energy is deposited, which may inv...
