Visualization of melt ejection fragmentation and upward dispersion in a typical simulation of DISCO integral test ($P_v=19$ bar, $D_b=30$ mm, ${\text{Al}}_2{\text{O}}_3\text{-Fe}$ thermite at 2500 K, vessel gas: vapour). Legend: top: continuous fuel field volume fraction, middle: fuel drop volume fraction, bottom: drop velocity (m/s). Frames at times $t=0$, 0.08, 0.09, and 0.3 seconds.
