The origin of the dynamic growth of vapor bubbles related to vapor explosions.

Summary

An explosive type of vapor bubble growth was observed during pool boiling experiments in microgravity using R113. Photographs reveal that the liquid-vapour interface of the explosive bubbles is wrinkled and corrugated, leading to the conclusion that some type of instability mechanism is acting. Heat transfer at the interface is believed to be responsible for the observed instability of the evaporating surface.
