title = "Simulation of welding of aluminum parts using high energy laser beam",
abstract = "A three dimensional finite difference model of the high energy laser beam welding process has been developed to predict temperature distribution. The calculations were performed using fixed grid enthalpy method, which does not require direct tracking of the solid-liquid interface and thus eliminates explicit reference to a moving boundary. As a result it allows utilizing standard solution method for the energy equation without any additional manipulations and transformations. Heat losses due to convection and radiation form the top surface of the workpiece, as well as effects of the natural convection in the liquid zone during welding operation has been accounted for in this study. Simulation results are in good agreement with published experimental measurements as well as with results obtained using commercial software Flow3D{\textregistered}.",
