Abstract
ABSTRACTA three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model is presented to simulate the film-boiling phenomenon. Single- and multimode film boilings are investigated. The flow and temperature fields around the vapor phase are obtained for various Jakob numbers. Furthermore, the effects of Jakob number on the Nusselt number and vapor tip velocity are investigated. The results show that on increasing the Jakob number, the bubble tip velocity increases while the Nusselt number decreases. Furthermore, it is found that in multimode film boiling, the peak and trough values of the local Nusselt number happen at the bubble position and the gap valleys between adjacent bubbles, respectively.
