Résumé

The new method of analysis by non-orthogonal empirical functions (NEFs) is applied to experimental data for the spatio-temporal variations in wall temperature during nucleate boiling. It is shown that the method can successfully identify the positions and patterns of activity at individual members of a large group of nucleation sites. Statistical methods are developed for comparing data of this sort with numerical simulations.
