Study of Pool Boiling Through Numerical Approach

In the past, various numerical approaches have been followed and utilized to analyze the bubble growth and heat transfer during boiling of liquids over a heated substrate. The present chapter focuses to review significant works associated with the simulations of nucleate and film boiling regimes. Most of the numerical approaches differ in the interface capturing techniques or the microlayer modeling in case of nucleate boiling. In the present chapter, the overall development in the research related to boiling studies has been overviewed and the advancement in the studies particularly related to the pool boiling through numerical simulation has been discussed.
