title: Two models for the dynamics of boiling in a short capillary tube.
abstract: We investigate the dynamical origin of the statistical properties of boiling in a short capillary tube. Two different models are proposed (Markov model and rotational model). We show that the behavior of each model may be related to different properties of the physical phenomenon. We conclude with a suggestion of a new experimental measurement which can help to adjust several aspects of the models. (c) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
