Simulations of microlayer formation in nucleate boiling

As a bubble grows outside of a cavity during nucleate boiling, viscous effects can be large enough compared to surface tension to impede liquid motion and trap a thin liquid layer, referred to as the microlayer, underneath the growing bubble. Numerical simulations of nucleate boiling typically resol...
