Modeling of thin film explosive boiling process during homogeneous sub-second heating

The explosive boiling process of thin film is investigated in the framework of classical molecular dynamics simulation in the case of homogeneous sub-nanosecond heating. The results of calculations show that at these conditions the surface evaporation process considerably affects the explosive boiling picture due to surface vaporization cooling and formation of non-homogeneous (convex) spatial temperature distribution in the homogeneously heated film.
