A two-stage two-dimensional (2D) gas-dynamic model of laser ablation in an ambient gas atmosphere is proposed. The initial one-dimensional stage of the process is related to the ablation plume formation under the action of a laser pulse (duration of the order of 10 ns; fluence about several J/cm2; laser spot diameter about 1 mm) and describes heating, melting, and evaporation of the target, the target–vapor interaction in the Knudsen layer, and the vapor dynamics. The final 2D stage is responsible for the formation of the energy and angular distributions of the ablated material. Considerable compression of the ambient gas around the expanding plume of the laser-evaporated material and a shock front propagating through the undisturbed ambient gas are found. The pressure of the compressed ambient gas behind the shock may be much higher than the ambient one. However, at the investigated ambient pressures below 100 Pa, it remains still much lower than the vapor pressure during laser evaporation. Therefore, th...
