Numerical study of the effect of forced convective flow on dropwise condensation by thermal LBM simulation

The enhancement mechanism of forced convective flow on dropwise condensation over a cold spot is numerically investigated by two-dimensional hybrid thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) model based on the Shan-Chen pseudopotential LB model. After validating the present LB model, dropwise condensation over...
