Microlayer in nucleate boiling seen as Landau-Levich film with dewetting and evaporation

Résumé

Both experimental and theoretical studies of fast and microscale physical phenomena occurring during the growth of vapour bubbles in nucleate pool boiling are reported. The focus is on the liquid film of micrometric thickness (a ‘microlayer’) that can form between the heater and the liquid–vapour interface of a bubble. The microlayer strongly affects the macroscale heat transfer and is thus important to be understood. The microlayer appears as a result of the inertial forces that cause the hemispherical bubble shape. It is shown that the microlayer can be seen as the Landau–Levich film deposited by the bubble foot edge during its receding. Paradoxically, the deposition is controlled by viscosity and surface tension. The microlayer profile measured with white-light interferometry, the temperature distribution over the heater, and the bubble shape are observed with synchronised high-speed cameras. According to the numerical simulations, the microlayer consists of two regions: a dewetting ridge near the contact line, and a longer and flatter bumped part. It is shown that the ridge cannot be measured by interferometry because of its intrinsic limitation on the interface slope. The ridge growth is linked to the contact line receding. The simulated dynamics of both the bumped part and the contact line agrees with the experiment. The physical origin of the bump in the flatter part of microlayer is explained.
