Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion: Experimental research in the evolution of the two-phase flow and over-pressure

From 38 ms to 168 ms, the boiling of the superheated liquid weakened. And from 170 ms, the original drop/mist-like two-phase flow turned into a churn-turbulent bubbly two-phase flow, rose quickly in the field of the camera and eventually impacted the vessel top wall. The force of its impact and “cavitation” and “choke” following with the two-phase ejection were maybe main reasons for the second obvious pressure increasing.
