The heat transfer rate and the hydrodynamic forces experienced by a single vapor bubble of variable radius moving in a superheated or subcooled liquid are studied by means of numerical simulation. For that purpose the full Navier–Stokes equations and the temperature equation are solved in a frame of reference where the bubble surface is steady. The time evolution of the bubble radius is determined by solving the energy balance at the bubble surface. The numerical method is first validated by comparing present predictions with previous asymptotic or numerical results in the case where no relative motion between the liquid and the bubble exists. Then the situation where a constant relative velocity exists is considered. Effects of the mean flow on the heat transfer rate and on the bubble radius evolution are first discussed. Two different stages are generally observed in the computations. First, the radial motion induced by the displacement of the bubble surface dominates and the bubble evolution is essenti...
