Developments in many modern applications are encountering rapid escalation in heat
dissipation, coupled with a need to decrease the size of thermal management hardware …

A review of numerical simulation of pool boiling is presented. Details of the numerical
models and results obtained for single bubble, multiple bubbles, nucleate boiling, and film …

A new phase-change model has been developed for a mass-conservative interface tracking
method. The mass transfer rate is directly calculated from the heat flux at the liquid–vapor …

The capabilities of three volume-of-fluid methods for the calculation of surface tension-
dominant two-phase flows are tested. The accurate calculation of the interface remains a …

The paper describes a coupling of the geometric Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method with a sharp-
interface phase-change model for Cartesian and axisymmetric grids. Both the interfacial …

We present a numerical method for interface-resolved simulations of evaporating two-fluid
flows based on the volume-of-fluid (VoF) method. The method has been implemented in an …

A depletable micro-layer model has been developed for the simulation of nucleate pool
boiling within the framework of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling using an …

Heterogeneous boiling on a horizontal plate in stagnant and slowly flowing fluid is simulated
using the lattice Boltzmann approach. The bubble departure diameter and release …

A coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid method is presented for modeling incompressible
two-phase flows with surface tension. The coupled algorithm conserves mass and captures …

This paper investigates some fundamental aspects of rising gas bubbles in stagnant
Newtonian liquids using a coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) method. The …
