Leidenfrost Dynamics: Supplemental Video 3

A supplemental video from the 2013 review by David Quéré, "Leidenfrost Dynamics," from the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics.

Side view of a large Leidenfrost drop, just above the threshold size of destabilization: A chimney of vapor rises at the center and makes the dome above the liquid. When this dome bursts, a liquid torus transiently forms, and closes, which produces an eruption above the puddle. Spectacular oscillations follow. The movie is slowed down by a factor of 100.
