Vapour bubble growing, separating and condensing.
Note acceleration of the bubble when condensing!
Methanol under atmospheric pressure, 4500frames/s.
<------- 1.26mm ---------->
Vapour bubble growing and separating with the
"classical" neck.
Methanol under atmospheric pressure, 4500frames/s.
<------- 3.76mm ---------->
Interaction of the growing vapour bubble
with its neighbour. Note strong deformation and oscillation
of the bubble, indicating strong decrease of the
surface tension at the boiling point.
Methanol under atmospheric pressure, 4500frames/s.
<----- 0.87mm ---->
Vapour bubble detachment under
"pumping" from below conditions.
Methanol under atmospheric pressure, 13500frames/s.
