Heat Transfer and Thermal Deformation Characteristics of Liquid-Cooled Laser Mirror

A coupled finite volume-element method is developed to simulate the transient thermal deformation of water-cooled mirror by considering fluid flow and convective heat transfer. The simulation process consists of two steps: the 3D finite volume models of fluid flow and heat transfer equation are solv...
