NUMERICAL METHOD FOR SPHERICAL BUBBLE GROWTH IN SUPERHEATED LIQUIDS
Abstract
A simple mathematical model and numerical method have been developed which accurately predict the moving boundary problem associated with spherically symmetric phase growth in an unbounded medium. Spherically symmetric bubble growth curves in initially isothermal liquids have been generated for four test cases covering a range of system pressures and initial liquid superheats for two different fluids, water and R113. The influences of the input …
