Adopting liquid metals as the working fluid, high temperature heat pipes (HTHPs) can
operate at a high temperature above 750 K and have extremely high heat transfer capacity …

This contribution presents a comprehensive overview of lattice Boltzmann models for non-
ideal fluids, covering both theoretical concepts at both kinetic and macroscopic levels and …

A mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann model is implemented for modelling isothermal two-
component evaporation in porous media. The model is based on the pseudopotential …

The aim of this paper is twofold: the first aim is to formulate and validate a multi-scale
discrete Boltzmann method (DBM) based on density functional kinetic theory for thermal …

Microchannel flow boiling has received increasing attention for its high heat dissipation
intensity with a small temperature difference. In the present study, a multi-relaxation-time …

In this work, a numerical model for isothermal liquid–vapor phase change (evaporation) of
the two-component air–water system is proposed based on the pseudopotential lattice …

In this work, we develop a unified lattice Boltzmann model (ULBM) framework that can
seamlessly integrate the widely used lattice Boltzmann collision operators, including the …

Disjoining pressure effect is the key to describe contact line dynamics, micro/nanoscale
liquid–vapor phase change heat transfer, and liquid transport in nanopores. In this paper, by …

In the past few decades, the droplet impact on a heated plate above the Leidenfrost
temperature has attracted immense research interest. The strong hydrophobicity caused by …

We present a critical evaluation of the force balance approach in predicting the departure of
rapidly growing bubbles from a boiling surface. To this end, we conduct separate effect …
