Energy balance in laser-irradiated vaporizing droplets
Description:
We analyze the interactions of atmospheric aerosols with a high-energy laser beam. The energy balance equation allows us to compute the conversion of the pulse energy into temperature increase, vaporization, conduction, and convection. We also include the shrinkage term whose significance has recently been discussed by Davies and Brock.
