From: Bubble nucleation and growth on microstructured surfaces under microgravity
a The model used in the thermofluidic surface bubble nucleation simulations. The insert shows the temperature plot along the heating surface indicating the maximum surface temperature locates at the center. b The calculated maximum substrate surface temperatures as a function of heating time in the terrestrial (black) and space microgravity (red) conditions. The simulated fluid velocity fields at t = 5 s in the terrestrial c and space microgravity d conditions. The simulated temperature profiles at t = 30 s in the terrestrial e and space microgravity f conditions.
