Abstract: | A lattice Boltzmann model for the liquid–vapor phase change heat transfer is proposed in this paper. Two particle distribution functions, namely the density distribution function and the temperature distribution function, are used in this model. A new form of the source term in the energy equation is derived and the modified pseudo-potential model is used in the proposed model to improve its numerical stability. The commonly used Peng–Robinson equation of state is incorporated into the proposed model. The problem of bubble growth and departure from a horizontal surface is solved numerically based on the proposed model. |
