Leidenfrost Dynamics: Supplemental Video 1
Abstract
A supplemental video from the 2013 review by David Quéré, "Leidenfrost Dynamics," from the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics.
Water drops falling on a hot plate (at a temperature of 300°C). These drops are in the Leidenfrost state, as shown by their shape (quasi-spherical), the absence of boiling, and a very high mobility. Credits: Marc Fermigier, Christophe Clanet, and David Quéré.
