Numerical simulation of gas flow in laser cutting is used to investigate the effect of workpiece thickness on flow field of assist gas in cutting slot. The isolines of static pressure as well as the distributions of static pressure and velocity are analyzed in details with different workpiece thickness,and the trend of dynamics characteristics of gas jet is shown in the study. For taper nozzles and convergence nozzles,the dynamic structure of assist gas being close to the lower surface of workpiece is exacerbated while the cutting quality and cutting effciency become worse with the increasing of workpiece thickness. The parallel degree between assist gas and the axis of convergence nozzle is better than that of taper nozzle after the gas goes out of the nozzles.
