ABSTRACT

This test case describes the theoretical solutions of three simple free boundary problems: the collapse of a vapor bubble in a subcooled liquid, the initial stage of the growth of a vapor bubble in a superheated liquid, and finally, the thermally controlled growth of a vapor bubble. It is requested to compute the bubble radius as well as the interface temperature and speed of displacement.
