Abstract: The growth and pinch-off dynamics of an evaporating pendant drop have been studied through direct numerical simulations. A coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid method is utilized to perform the simulations in an axisymmetric ...

Abstract: Heterogeneous nucleate boiling over a flat surface has been studied through complete numerical simulations. During the growth and departure of the vapor bubble, the interface is tracked following a coupled level-set and ...
