摘要

The electric field is known as an effective approach to improving pool boiling. However, there has been limited research on electric field-enhanced boiling of leaky dielectric fluids and the associated bubble dynamics. In this work, we employ a mesoscopic multiphase lattice Boltzmann method to perform large-scale three-dimensional simulations of electric field-enhanced pool boiling in leaky dielectric fluids. Our findings confirm that, compared to conventional pool boiling, electric field-enhanced pool boiling significantly increases heat transfer efficiency in the transition boiling regime. Furthermore, we propose a theoretical model based on the hydrodynamic theory that accurately predicts the heat flux across a wide range of operating parameters. Finally, we reveal size effects of the electric force on nucleation sites and rising bubbles, explaining the contrasting phenomena of bubble suppression and enhanced bubble detachment observed in electric field-enhanced boiling. The results of this study provide theoretical insight for optimizing phase‑change heat transfer efficiency.
