Mechanistic modeling of evaporating thin liquid film instability on a bwr fuel rod with parallel and cross vapor flow

This work has been aimed at developing a mechanistic, transient, 3-D numerical model to predict the behavior of an evaporating thin liquid film on a non-uniformly heated cylindrical rod with simultaneous parallel and cross flow of vapor. Interest in this problem has been motivated by the fact that t...
