Microscopic modelling of boiling

One of the main thermal-hydraulic challenges of LWR modelling is the prediction of boiling phenomena. This thesis describes numerical and analytical studies aimed at modelling the heat transfer and hydrodynamics of a single steam bubble during nucleate boiling of water, aiming both to improve our cu...
