Abstract The gas-dynamic and thermal processes which occur when a high-power flux of laser radiation interacts with a material are investigated. Fluxes for which the sublimation energy can be neglected compared with the thermal and kinetic energy of the vapors formed are considered. The electron thermal conductivity is considered as well as the hydrodynamic dispersion. The properties of different modes of propagation of temperature waves in a moving medium are studied. The case of an infinitely large absorption coefficient is given particular attention.
