== Pressure field in a Leidenfrost droplet ==

The equation for the pressure field in the vapor region between the droplet and the solid surface can be solved for using the standard momentum and [[continuity equations]] using a [[Boundary layer model]]. In this model for the sake of simplicity in solving, a linear temperature profile and a parabolic velocity profile are assumed within the [[vapor phase]]. The heat transfer within the vapor phase is assumed to be through [[Conduction (heat)|conduction]]. With these approximations, the Navier–Stokes equations can be solved to get the pressure field.  <ref>{{cite book |author1-link=Van Carey |last1=Carey |first1=Van P. |title=Liquid-Vapor Phase-Change Phenomena: An Introduction to the Thermophysics of Vaporization and Condensation Processes in Heat Transfer Equipment, Third Edition |date=2020 |publisher=CRC Press |isbn=978-1-4987-1663-5 |doi=10.1201/9780429082221 |s2cid=243345698 }}{{pn|date=January 2022}}</ref>
