The interaction of keyhole and the welding pool during laser welding is investigated by using a numerical simulation. The shape of keyhole is related to a surface tension and a recoil force. The numerical model is developed on the basis of the program Fluent which is the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Calculations were performed by using parallel processing software and facilities.
