Fig. 2: Time evolution of the temperature field, for the vapour collapse scenario.

A binary vapour (Ni and Cr) bubble collapses as it rises through a dissimilar binary liquid phase (Fe and Mo) at t = 0.005 s (a), t = 0.075 s (b), t = 0.15 s (c), t = 0.225 s (d), t = 0.33 s (e), and t = 0.435 s (f), respectively. The bubble and Ar phases are highlighted in magenta, with a cut through the domain to show the temperature field evolution over the range of temperatures in the domain, from 2.4 × 103 to 3.0 × 103 K.
