have been simulated numerically. Bubble growth curves have been generated for a range of
Jakob numbers, 3⩽ Ja⩽ 3167, by altering the initial metastable state of the system facilitated
by changes in the initial superheat and system pressure. The detailed physics of vapour
bubble growth is studied through delineation of the parameters governing the changes in
the growth dynamics from surface tension, to inertia dominated, to diffusion controlled, and …
