Thermal conduction effects in laser solid target interaction

The role of thermal conduction in modifying the characteristics of steady state deflagration structures in laser-solid target interaction is investigated. It is found that even in the case where the thermal conduction is small, the properties of the flow must be modified to include heat transfer to the expansion fan, and two dimensional gas flow effects. In the case of the thick thermal structure modified scaling laws must be used.
