Abstract
In this paper nucleate boiling is studied at microscale level in two dimensions focusing on the influence of the cavity size and density on the growth and detachment of a single bubble. Furthermore the interactions of bubbles detaching from two neighbouring nucleation sites are studied in details.
► Bubble detachment from cavities of a heated plate is studied in microscale. ► Vapor generation rate depends on the geometrical parameters of the cavity. ► Neighbouring cavities can deactivate each other or freezing the nucleation.
