Abstract
The two-phase flow modeling is done using the level set method to identify the interface of vapor and liquid. The modifications to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to consider surface tension, viscosity, gravity and phase change are discussed in detail. The governing equations are solved using finite difference method. In the present work, investigations on the effect of thermal conductivity and latent heat of vaporization of liquid on heat transfer in a 44 µm thick liquid film containing vapor bubble with droplet impact is investigated. The importance of thermal conductivity and latent heat of vaporization of liquid on heat transfer is identified. The variation of heat flux with thermal conductivity and latent heat is plotted. The computed liquid and vapor interface, velocity vector and temperature distributions at different time instants are also visualized for better understanding of the heat removal.
