Abstract This study explores the mechanism behind the generation of pressure pulses on the outer surface of a molten metal droplet when immersed in water. The absence of any external trigger is assumed, and the droplet is surrounded by a vapor layer with surface hydrodynamic waves at the vapor-liquid interface. The study examines the heating conditions of a cylindrical column of water used to model a volume of cold liquid interacting with a hot metal surface, which explosively boils upon direct contact. Within the framework of classical homogeneous nucleation theory, the relationship between pressure pulse magnitude… More >
