Modelling of Boiling Flows for Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics Applications—A Brief Review
The boiling process is utterly fundamental to the design and safety of water-cooled fission reactors. Both boiling water reactors and pressurised water reactors use boiling under high-pressure subcooled liquid flow conditions to achieve high surface heat

Comprehensive two-phase flow calculation method with in-channel refrigerant boiling [PDF]
In this paper, the authors deal with the processes occurring during boiling of two-phase flows in channels, which differ in many possible regimes, and their analytical description is possible only under strict restrictions within the given regime and ...

Thermohydrodynamics of boiling in a van der Waals fluid [PDF]
We present a modeling approach that enables numerical simulations of a boiling Van der Waals fluid based on the diffuse interface description. A boundary condition is implemented that allows in and out flux of mass at constant external pressure.
