| Abstract: | The processes of interaction between concentrated energy fluxes and solid targets have been investigated in a number of studies.
The generation of magnetic fields in erosional plasma formations has been experimentally observed 1–4]. However, the evolution
of magnetic fields in plasma jets has not yet been studied in sufficient detail. This paper is devoted to a numerical investigation
of unsteady three-dimensional erosion plasma flows and the generation in those flows of magnetic fields resulting from the
action of laser radiation on solid targets.
