Numerical Simulation of Departure from Nucleate Boiling in Rod Bundles under High-Pressure Conditions

In subcooled boiling flows beyond a certain heat flux, heat transfer is hampered due to a phenomenon known as Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB). Conducting DNB experiments at one-to-one nuclear reactor operating conditions is highly challenging and expensive. Another alternative approach is to u...
