“…because of low driving heads. Experimental studies at the conditions of low pressures and low heat fluxes report five major instabilities that occur in NCBL (see the works of Wissler et al., Ledinegg, Chexal and Bergles, Fukuda and Kobori, Aritomi et al, Wu et al, Kyung and Lee, Jiang et al, Zboray et al, Hsieh et al, Jain et al, and Paruya et al). The instabilities include flow excursion or flow reversal, geysering instability, natural circulation oscillation, flashing-induced instability, and Type I (low steam quality) density-wave oscillation (DWO).…”
