在ANSYS FLUENT 12.0中，采用流体体积法（VOF）对毛细管内的绝热两相流进行了模拟。Li等人（1990）的实验数据和Khan等人（2007）的数值模型验证了所提出的模型。该模型的预测结果与上述实验和数值结果非常吻合。从目前的分析中观察到，蒸发从实际铜毛细管中闪点位置的管壁开始。此外，本模型还证实了毛细管内存在亚稳态。引文:ASHRAE交易——第120卷，第一部分，纽约州纽约

An attempt has been made to model the adiabatic twophase flow through a capillary tube in ANSYS FLUENT 12.0 using volume of fluid (VOF) method. The proposed model has been validated with the experimental data of Li et al. (1990) and numerical model of Khan et al. (2007). The predictions of the proposed model are in very good agreement with the abovementioned experimental and numerical results. It has been observed fromthe present analysis that the vaporization begins on the wall at the flash point location in actual copper capillary tubes. Further, the present model also confirms the presence of metastability inside the capillary tube.
