Class
    Foam::heatTransferModels::wallBoiling
 
Description
    A heat transfer model for simulation of sub-cooled nucleate wall boiling on
    the surface of a third phase with runtime selectable sub-models. This model
    should be applied to the liquid side of the liquid-third-phase interface.
 
Usage
    Settings below are very similar to that of the
    alphatWallBoilingWallFunction (refer to this model's documentation for
    further details). The only differences are that an underlying heat transfer
    model is also required, and the phase-identifying entries are somewhat
    different; the liquid and vapour phases must be specified explicitly.
 
    A corresponding heat transfer model on the other side of the
    liquid-third-phase interface is required by this model, and is also shown
    below.
 
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    bed_dispersedIn_liquid_inThe_liquid
    {
        type            wallBoiling;
 
        liquidPhase     liquid;
        vapourPhase     gas;
 
        heatTransferModel
        {
            type            Gunn;
        }
 
        partitioningModel
        {
            type            Lavieville; // phaseFraction, linear, cosine
            alphaCrit       0.2;
        }
        nucleationSiteModel
        {
            type            LemmertChawla; // KocamustafaogullariIshii
        }
        departureDiameterModel
        {
            type            TolubinskiKostanchuk; // KocamustafaogullariIshii
        }
        departureFrequencyModel
        {
            type            KocamustafaogullariIshii; // Cole
            Cf              1.18;
        }
    }
 
    bed_dispersedIn_liquid_inThe_bed
    {
        type            spherical;
    }
    \endverbatim
