Shock wave as a probe of flux-limited thermal transport in laser-heated solids
Classical Spitzer-Harm treatment of electron thermal conduction breaks down in the steep temperature gradients found in laser-heated solids. A phenomenological flux-limiter, which reduces heat flow, is incorporated into computer codes which model laser-target interactions. There is disagreement in...
