NUMERICAL COMPUTATION OF FILM BOILING INCLUDING CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER

This article presents a numerical method and simulations of film boiling including conjugate heat transfer. A volume-of-fluid (VOF) interface tracking method is augmented with a mass transfer model and a model for surface tension. The bulk fluids are viscous, conducting, and incompressible. We explore film boiling on a horizontal surface and we consider the effect of the energy exchange between a solid wall and the boiling fluid during saturated horizontal film boiling.
