摘要
Boiling is an efficient heat transfer mode with significant potential for thermal management in high-power electronic equipment. However, a comprehensive understanding of the boiling process, which encompasses bubble nucleation, growth, coalescence, slipping, and detachment across various scales, remains challenging. Molecular dynamics simulation, lattice Boltzmann, and computational fluid dynamics methods are popular and powerful tools for investigating boiling heat transfer phenomena at microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic scales. These methods enable researchers to uncover the underlying boiling mechanisms and propose heat transfer enhancement techniques. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive review of boiling heat transfer, spanning from atomistic to mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, utilizing these three numerical methods. It addresses critical issues related to nanoscale bubble nucleation mechanisms, pool boiling, and flow boiling, and proposes potential solutions and future researches, supplementing our previous review [Some advances in numerical simulations of multiscale heat transfer problems and particularly for boiling heat transfer, Annu. Rev. Heat Transf., 6 (2022) 217–269]. Besides, by shedding light on the characteristics of these numerical methods in studying boiling heat transfer, this paper aims to foster their development and advance enhanced heat transfer technologies.
