Boiling and condensation of a complex fluid

Simulation of Boiling and Condensation

 

A computation performed by Ju Liu, Ph.D. candidate in the ICES Computational Mechanics Group led by Professor Thomas J.R. Hughes, demonstrates boiling and condensation of a complex fluid.

 

Vapor bubbles are generated at discrete sites of the heated bottom surface. The vapor flows are condensed to liquid droplets on the top cooled boundary. Density isosurfaces and velocity streamlines are depicted. A phase-field type multiphase flow model and isogeometric analysis are utilized to provide accurate and robust numerical simulation of the phase transition phenomenon.
