Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Evaporating Thin Liquid Film for Vapor Generation

Thin film evaporation (TFE) plays an important role in many industrial applications, such as power generation, cooling, and thermal management. Effective evaporation takes place in the thin liquid film region with relatively low film thickness and low intermolecular forces. In this paper, a numerica...
