- Abstract
To keep a high heat transfer rate, it is important to retain the water in nucleate boiling regime and prevent film boiling. In this research, the continuum approach is applied to study liquid vaporization within a textured surface. The volume-of-fluid method and cavitation model are used in this simulation. The primary focus is on reproducing qualitative trends using continuum as molecular dynamic studies and gaining insights into the underlying mechanisms. From the simulation results, it is found that the superhydrophilic surface stabilizes the liquid existing inside the pore.
