Abstract
A model for the simulation of boiling flow with phase change in a closed cavity is presented. A front-tracking method is used to deal with the liquid-vapor interface. The liquid phase is incompressible while the vapor phase is weakly compressible and obeys to the perfect gas law. This model can deal with large density ratio (ρl/ρv ≃-1000) flows while accounting for the saturation curve. Computations are performed on a 1D validation case, idealizing a pressure cooker. Results are compared with a low Mach number approximation.
