A mathematical model is proposed and used to describe the flow and heat transfer, especially interfacial transport phenomena. The liquid-vapor interface of the condensed liquid film was numerically determined. Some factors, such as vapor pressure, wall subcooling, wall heat load and thermofluid properties, have significant influence on the heat transfer process and the shape of liquid-vapor interface. Meanwhile, an experimental facility was setup and an experimental investigation was completed. Theoretical prediction and experimental results show quite good consistence.展开更多

From a sequence of experimental investigations, some new phenomena, particularly, the visually observed interfacial transport phenomena or processes including jet-like flows, bubble interaction and spatial scale effect, were described in this article. The interfacial effects and transport phenomena associated with surface tension gradients caused by temperature and concentration variations were theoretically analyzed to reveal the marked influence on bubble interfacial shape and dynamic behavior, the bubble dynamics including nucleation, bubble motion and coalescence. Several theoretical models and methods were proposed to describe the dynamic characteristics and explain the physics of interfacial phenomena/processes. The展开更多
