Detrimental Marangoni flow around a nucleated bubble. Attenuation of surface tension-induced flows due to smaller nucleation and subsequently less wall superheat56. In schematics black and red lines indicate characteristics (flow and temperature distributions) for without and with hemi-wicking, respectively.
