This review summarises state-of-the-art AFM experiments measuring surface tension in
various liquid systems with cylinder shaped AFM probes (nanoindenters). AFM has emerged …

We experimentally investigate the near-wall heat transfer at single bubble growth in
nucleate saturated pool boiling of water at atmospheric pressure. Our focus is on the …

This paper presents analyses of the formation of" microlayers" ie, very thin (∼ 1 μ m) liquid
films often found beneath steam bubbles growing on a solid surface in low-pressure boiling …

This work consists of an experimental study of the microscale physical phenomena
occurring during the growth of a single bubble attached to the heater at nucleate boiling. The …

A phenomenological model is proposed to estimate the initial thickness of the liquid
microlayer forming beneath a vapour bubble growing on a solid surface upon nucleate …

The present study reports an original physical model for simulating pulsating heat pipes
(PHPs). Their high heat performance is due to the phase change over thin liquid films. The …

Both experimental and theoretical studies of fast and microscale physical phenomena
occurring during the growth of vapour bubbles in nucleate pool boiling are reported. The …

Dewetting of liquid films on solid surfaces in the presence of evaporation is a common
phenomenon and has been studied by many researchers. The previous numerical approach …

This study uses interface-resolved computational fluid dynamics simulations to investigate
the dynamics of bubble growth on a horizontal solid surface, with a focus on the …

This contact line vicinity model is conceived as a subgrid model for the DNS of bubble
growth in boiling. The model is based on the hydrodynamic multiscale theory and is suitable …
