The saturation pressure of water at 322 C is ~114 atm. This means steam and water can coexist (and are in equilibrium). It's probably been done before, but I thought it was cool
supercritical water physics science steam arghhh saturatedwater

    the idea is that it is 3 times the boiling point but some of it can remain liquid due to the pressure of the environment

    yeah this is kinda just boiling right? sorry if im completely wrong or something

    Uh thats not quite what saturation is... this would be the boiling point

    Wow awesome water

    I mean the simulation isnt 100% perfect. Just because it has phase limitations doesn't neseccarily mean what's happening isn't supercriticality.

    @epic_cat supercritical fluid has no phase distinction between liquid and gas, so it can't be modeled in TPT. Supercritical water also occurs at 374 C and 218 atm (this is at 322 C and ~114 atm)

    isnt this supercritical?

    @tonimark you do understand its not all just about you and your stuff right?

    drop a bomb from above and you'll get a cyclone, maybe even two
