Figure 11 Contour plot of temperature distribution along the vertical axis of the central vessel in (a) the upper vessel layer of the PWS model and (b) the second vessel layer of the PWS model following Lumina irradiation. The pulse length was 20ms and the fluence was increased until the vessel temperature reached the threshold for thermal necrosis. The fluence required to surpass the threshold damage temperature was 25J/cm2.
