Description

The bubble motion during nucleate boiling in a microchannel is investigated numerically. The liquid-vapor interface is tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effects of phase change at the interface and contact angle at the wall. The computations are made for various channel sizes, liquid flow rates, and contact angles. Based on the numerical results, the bubble growth pattern and its effect on the flow and heat transfer are discussed
