Numerical Simulation Research of Bubble Characteristics and Bubble Departure Diameter in Subcooled Flow Boiling

Three-dimensional subcooled flow boiling of R134a in a horizontal tube was simulated by a VOF (volume of fluid) model combined with the level set method. Bubble characteristics were explored at heat flux of 0.3 MW/m², inlet subcooling of 3 K, and inlet velocity of 0.4 m/s. It...
