Abstract
Three dimensional numerical simulations based on the MARS (Multi-interface Advection and Reconstruction Solver) with a boiling bubble growth/condensation model which consisted of the improved phase-change model and the relaxation time based on the quasi-thermal equilibrium hypothesis have been conducted for the subcooled pool boiling phenomena, especially subjected to bubble growth process. The numerical results regarding the bubble growth process of the subcooled pool boiling show in good agreement with the experimental results and the existing analytical equations among Rayleigh, Plesset and Zwick and Mikic et al.
