Abstract

In this study a line surface and plug-flow models are examined. The laser beam/target interactions present alternative explanations for the previously noted observations of vapour ejection in the bursts. The importance of choosing between these models rests in the potential difference, in estimates for fluid and vapour variables and in possible inferences for adjacent regions.
