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

The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

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 …

A numerical method for direct simulations of boiling flows is presented. The method is similar
to the front tracking/finite difference technique of Juric and Tryggvason [Int. J. Multiphase …

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 …

Comparisons of different numerical methods suited to the simulations of phase changes are
presented in the framework of interface capturing computations on structured fixed …

The development of numerical methods for the direct numerical simulation of two-phase
flows with phase change, in the framework of interface capturing or interface tracking …

We present a front-tracking/finite difference method for simulation of drop solidification on a
cold plate. The problem includes temporal evolution of three interfaces, ie solid–liquid, solid …

A numerical method is presented for simulating film boiling on an immersed (or irregularly
shaped) solid surface. The level set formulation for tracking the phase interfaces is modified …

In this paper, we compare numerical simulations and experiments on droplets im**ing
onto a hot surface at a temperature well above the Leidenfrost point, for different impacting …
