Sažetak

The paper presents a review of the research on the application of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics in the modelling of boiling flows due to the importance of such phenomena for power engineering and the lack of this type of reviews in the literature published so far. The associated high-density ratio between two fluids in a flow, with a sharp interface between the phases preserved, has been identified as a critical problem in the development of computational algorithms. This study is motivated by the recent trends in industry that are related to the application of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics. In addition, the research conducted in the field of boiling and, to some point, evaporation phenomena, is also presented since there is not much research work published in the field of boiling flow modelling using the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics method. Although some oscillations in the interface position estimation were observed, it was found that high-density ratio in conjunction with boiling flow could be efficiently modelled using hybrid methods. In particular, this refers to the application of the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics-moving particle semi-implicit method. Still, more work has to be done to establish a straightforward procedure that could be applied by engineering practitioners in research and development teams in the industry on an everyday basis.
