Abstract
Based on the one-component multiphase lattice Boltzmann method, a novel solid–liquid conjugate boiling heat transfer pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is tentatively proposed in this paper. By respectively introducing the physical property parameters of solids and liquids into the relaxation time [Formula: see text] of the temperature distribution equation, different energy transfer rates in solid, liquid, and vapor regions can be successfully predicted. After verifying the accuracy, stability, and reasonability of this model, the bubble detaching behavior and boiling heat transfer performance on the rectangular cavity structure are analyzed through setting different contact angles of the cavity surface and plane heating surface. The results show that the hydrophobic cavity surface can initialize bubble nucleation earlier and obviously increase the bubble detaching frequency because of its gas-bounding character, while the hydrophilic plane heating surface can restrict the expansion of bubbles and delay the appearance of film boiling. Moreover, for uniform wettability surfaces, the bubble detaching period varies in the quadratic equation with the surface contact angle due to the interaction of surface tension and buoyancy, and there is a minimum detaching period. While for the mixed wettability surfaces, the bubble detaching period also has a minimum value with the decrease in the contact angle the cavity surface, but the average bubble detaching diameter basically does not change with the cavity surface contact angle; moreover, the cavity surface contact angle corresponding to the minimum detaching period also increases with the increase in the plane heating surface contact angle. In addition, for the boiling heat transfer surface with cavity structure, the maximum heat flux and temperature gradient occur on the cavity surface, and the local heat flux of the hydrophobic cavity surface is higher than that of the hydrophilic cavity surface. This work will provide useful help for the further development of the conjugate boiling heat transfer LB model and clarify the mechanism of enhanced boiling heat transfer on a mixed wettability surface.
