Dynamic pressure enhancement upon disk impact on a boiling liquid
Yee Li, Fan, Bernardo Palacios Muniz +2
We experimentally investigate the impact of a flat, horizontal disk onto a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid in thermal equilibrium with its vapor phase. We observe exceptionally high…

Disk impact on a boiling liquid: Dynamics of the entrapped vapor pocket
Yee Li Fan, Bernardo Palacios Muniz, Nayoung Kim +1
Upon the impact of a flat disk on a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid that is in thermal equilibrium with its own vapor, a thin vapor layer is entrapped under the disk. Due to the ten…
