Comparison between the experimental (dots) and the simulation results (lines) for the validation case of the bead. The dashed and the solid lines represent the simulations with the implicit and the explicit definition of the heating source, respectively. The red lines correspond to the heating induced by the lowest photon-flux density and the biggest bead radius compatible with the experimental error reported. The black lines correspond to the case with the highest photon-flux density and the smallest bead radius compatible with the experimental error. The experimental data have been digitalized from Snell et al. (2007). |
