Growth of a dry spot under a vapor bubble at high heat flux and high pressure
Vadim Nikolayev, Daniel Beysens, G. -L. Lagier +1
We report a 2D modeling of the thermal diffusion-controlled growth of a vapor bubble attached to a heating surface during saturated boiling. The heat conduction problem is solved i…

Equation of motion of the triple contact line along an inhomogeneous surface
Vadim Nikolayev, D. Beysens
Wetting flows are controlled by the contact line motion. We derive an equation that describes the slow time evolution of the triple solid-liquid-fluid contact line for an arbitrary…
