We present a review of some of the state-of-the-art numerical methods for solving the Stefan problem and the Poisson and the diffusion equations on irregular domains using (i) the level-set method for representing the (possibly moving) irregular domain's boundary, (ii) the ghost-fluid method for imposing the Dirichlet boundary condition at the irregular domain's boundary and (iii) a quadtree/octree nodebased adaptive mesh refinement for capturing small length scales while significantly reducing the memory and CPU footprint. In addition, we highlight common misconceptions and describe how to properly implement these methods. Numerical experiments illustrate quantitative and qualitative results.

“…Nucleate pool boiling characteristics during pool boiling of sub-cooled water on very small wires were studied [56]. The nucleate boiling of saturated water at high heat fluxes was numerically studied [57]. Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient for several pure liquids on a horizontal rod heater at atmospheric pressure was experimentally measured [6].…”

This paper reviews the previous work carried on pool boiling heat transfer during heating of various liquids and commodities categorized as refrigerants and dielectric fluids, pure liquids, nanofluids, hydrocarbons and additive mixtures, as well as natural and synthetic colloidal solutions. Nucleate pool boiling is an efficient and effective method of boiling because high heat fluxes are possible with moderate temperature differences. It is characterized by the growth of bubbles on a heated surface. It occurs during boiling of liquids for excess temperature ranging from 5 to 30 °C in various processes related to high vaporization of liquid for specific purposes like sugarcane juice heating for jaggery making, milk heating for khoa making, steam generation, cooling of electronic equipments, refrigeration and etcetera. In this review paper, pool boiling method during heating of liquids for specific purpose is depicted. It is inferred that enhancement in pool boiling heat transfer is a challenging and complex task. Also, recent research and use of various correlations for natural convection pool boiling is reviewed.

“…Efforts were made for computation of pool boiling on a solid wall using moving-grid methods (11)(12) , a front-tracking method (13) , the volume-of-fluid method (14) , and a level-set method (15) (16) . However, the complete numerical simulation was not extended to the boiling case in free-surface jet impingement.…”

Complete numerical simulations are performed for bubble growth in water jet impingement on a hot plate. The governing equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and energy are numerically solved in the liquid, vapor and air phases. The liquidvapor and liquid-air interfaces are tracked by a level-set method which is modified to include the effect of phase change at the liquid-vapor interface. The level-set approach is combined with a non-equilibrium k-ε turbulence model. The effects of jet velocity, jet temperature and wall superheat on the bubble growth in water jet and the associated flow and heat transfer are quantified.
