interThermalPhaseChangeFoam—A framework for two-phase flow simulations with thermally driven phase change

The volume-of-fluid (VOF) approach is a mature technique for simulating two-phase flows. However, VOF simulation of phase-change heat transfer is still in its infancy. Multiple closure formulations have been proposed in the literature, each suited to different applications. While these have enabled...
