Percolative Scale-Free Behavior in the Boiling Crisis

We present the first experimental observations of scale-free behavior in the bubble footprint distribution during the boiling crisis of water, in pool and flow boiling conditions. We formulate a continuum percolation model that elucidates how the scale-free behavior emerges from the near-wall stocha...
