Abstract

A CFD code using improved Volume of Fluid（VOF） method to track liquid-vapor interface is developed to simulate forced convection film boiling on a sphere.The simulation results are compared with the experimental correlation,and the result show that the numerical method could simulate the physical process of forced convection film boiling on a sphere successfully.
