In accordance with visual observations, a transition boiling model that assumes a quench front which alternately advances and retreats in the water flow direction, is proposed. With appropriate choice of a quench zone width and heat transfer rate when the surface is wet, the model predictions are in the same range as the observed temperature oscillations. An extension of the model leads to heat transfer rate predictions in general agreement with experimental observations.
