The transient boiling phenomena occurring on a planar heater in He II are visually studied to investigate the onset condition and the bifurcation criterion. The whole flow field is visualized with the aid of Schlieren and shadowgraph optics. After step-wise heating, local boiling sites appear and de

โฆ Synopsis
The boiling-up process in superfluid helium was measured by an optical method and compared with previous experiments of other authors. The influence of the different pulse triggering rates was removed by introducing a dimensionless parameter. It appears that the reported new method is much more sensitive than those used in former investigations and gives the possibility of a visualization of the whole process. Further, vapour bubbles with finite dimensions (diameter of the order of 1 cm) were observed in the bulk liquid. Depending on the remaining liquid column (or hydrostatic pressure head) above the heater, these bubbles have a life-time of up to 50 ms. The lower the pressure head, the longer is the life-time of the bubbles.

Previous studies showed that there is a sharp dierence of pressure oscillation between noisy ยฎlm boiling and silent ยฎlm boiling in He II. In this study, transient temperature measurement was carried out to add supplementary information of noisy ยฎlm boiling and silent ยฎlm boiling.
In the present study, the discussion on ยฎlm boiling states in He II is presented on the basis of some new experimental results. Experiments were conducted under various thermal conditions, e.g., dierent bath temperature, immersion depth and heat ยฏux. In subcooled ยฎlm boiling state, a ยฏame-shaped vap
