Summary

Boiling heat transfer improvement is now one of the most topical problems in thermophysics, which is associated with the significant increase in the power of modern heat exchange equipment at the constant need to reduce its weight and size parameters. In particular, the development of efficient and reliable cooling systems for high-heat-flux devices based on two-phase heat transfer is an acute issue. Understanding the boiling fundamentals in this regard is one of the most important issues, which will allow to development of the most effective enhancement techniques and the design of new two-phase devices.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the novel results in theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies of boiling heat transfer fundamentals. The current advancements in the research methods for exploring the physics relevant to boiling heat transfer enhancement are also of interest. Papers devoted to the development of novel two-phase heat transfer devices utilizing boiling are also highly encouraged.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

· Boiling fundamentals: heat transfer and crisis phenomena development;

· Multiscale boiling characteristics;

· Flow boiling in micro- and macro-channels;

· Fluid dynamics during boiling;

· Boiling improvement techniques;

· Surface modification techniques for boiling improvement;

· Numerical simulation of boiling;

· Novel two-phase measurement and visualization techniques;
