  ABSTRACT: A computational model of laser ablated polymer was established. Set the ablation criterion based on threshold energy. Put forward the polymer ablation criterion in the numerical model. It established the energy distribution equation to describe the laser ablation process. When the ablation products ejected, the target gained recoil impulse from ejection process. Get the ejection energy and the recoil momentum of target based on momentum conservation law. The numerical analysis model can reflect the propulsion capability of different polymer propellant, revealed the law of propulsion parameters in laser ablation process.
