Uncertainty quantification for modeling pulsed laser ablation of aluminum considering uncertainty in the temperature-dependent absorption coefficient

Abstract

In this paper, an extension of the result of Wang et al. ("Modeling pulsed laser ablation of aluminum with finite element analysis considering material moving front," Int. J. Heat & Mass Transfer, 113, 1246-1253, 2017) concerning the problem of uncertainty quantification for pulsed laser ablation (PLA) of aluminum is considered, when the source of uncertainty is due to an inherent randomness of the temperature-dependent absorption coefficient. In particular, we use a generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) method to incorporate the parameter uncertainty for the temperature-dependent absorption coefficient within the representation of the laser heat conduction phenomena. Furthermore, numerical simulation studies for the PLA of aluminum, with nanosecond Nd:YAG 266 nm pulsed laser, that demonstrate the proposed gPC predictions

Pulsed Laser Ablation of Polymer-based Magnetic Nanocomposites for Oil Spill Remediation

“…[31] The photothermal processes depend mainly on the optical absorption of the target material and the thermal response of the solid material decreases exponentially with the depth from the target surface. [32] Meanwhile, the fast evaporation of material from the surface creates a shock wave, and the mechanical stresses in the target trigger photomechanical processes that cause fragmentation and further ablation of the target material. [33] Considering porous targets the photomechanical phenomenon can dominate the ablation process where signi cantly lower temperatures generated compared to laser ablation on bulk materials.…”

“…[5] So it is [1] indispensable to detect aluminum in our daily lives. To date, a diversity of analytical methods for the detection of Al 3 + have been established with specific techniques, such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), [6] inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), [7] inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), [8] laser ablation microprobe mass analysis (LAMMA), [9] high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). [10] However, most of these methods involve expensive instrumentations and complicated operations, which will increase the detection costs and environmental risks.…”
