The time-and space-resolved water jet impingement heat transfer on stationary hot steel plate was measured by a novel experimental technique that has a function of high-temperature heat flux gauge. The simultaneous visual observation was helpful to understand the complex heat transfer regimes occurring on a stationary hot steel plate cooled from 900°C by a circular water jet. The heat transfer regimes adjacent to a circular water jet impinging on a hot steel plate were known as to be classified into 5 distinct regimes; (I) single phase forced convection, (II) nucleate and transition boiling, (III) forced convection film boiling, (IV) agglomerated pools, (V) radiation and natural convection to surroundings. The observed images of water jet impingement boiling were well agreed with the measured cooling curve and boiling curve, so this study can provide the benchmark data for validating the 5 distinct regimes.
