This image displays the effect of adding a dense creamer to black coffee. The creamer was added slowly via a spoon, captured with auto mode on a Canon EOS Rebel X3. This flow is a prime example of turbulent mixing and Rayleigh-Taylor instability.

When a steel ball heated to 700 C is suddenly submerged in water, film boiling blasts an oxidized surface layer clean off.

Three 1/2 inch steel balls heated to 700 F are dropped into water, showing film boiling. Video at 500 fps.
