Downscaling of shock waves towards micro scale is a development direction of shock waves research. In the current work, a femtosecond laser is applied to generate a micro plasma in a thin metal film as a target. The high pressure and high temperature plasma subsequently emits a strong shock wave, which is the nature*s way to get out of the non-equilibrium state and quickly achieve balance. Of course, the early stage of the shock wave onset is extremely difficult to measure, experimentally. Thus, in addition to set-up an advanced diagnostics, comprehensive simulations are important. This presentation focuses on the theoretical side of the project, namely a computer simulation using the hydrodynamic code MULTIFS. The code takes into account the equations of states of the ions and electrons, material properties, opacity, radiation transport, heat conduction and the laser beam energy deposition mechanism and it delivers the distribution of pressure, density and temperature of the target and the surround materials (in this case, e.g., ambient air). The density (or pressure) peak corresponds to the shock wave front. Via this simulation, important shock wave onset properties including the Mach number can be derived.This project is funded by DFG.
