Crystallization is a process of great practical relevance in which rare but crucial fluctuations lead to the formation of a solid phase starting from the liquid. Like in all first order first transitions there is an interplay between…
The method of sequential simulation of liquid metal droplet deformation by a laser pulse is considered. The first stage is the laser impact on a droplet. It was simulated using RALEF-2D code, based on the radiative gas dynamic model. The…
