Abstract A detailed 2-D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model simulating two-phase flow and heat transfer in a two-phase loop thermosyphon (TPLTS) is presented. The CFD simulation was built to represent two-phase flow and heat transfer phenomena during the transient and steady-state operation analysis of a TPLTS under various operating conditions. The two-phase flow was modeled using the volume of fluid (VOF) model, and the Lee model was utilized for evaporation and condensation. Simulation results were compared with experimental temperature, pressure, and flow visualization data.
