Its zero-dimensional, point-averaged formulation isolates boiling-model behaviour from turbulence, interfacial transport, mesh and numerical uncertainties associated with full computational fluid dynamics simulations.</p> <h2 id="capabilities">Capabilities</h2> <ul> <li>Independently select heat flux partitioning formulations and bubble-parameter sub-models.</li> <li>Exhaustively evaluate thousands of model combinations in milliseconds per configuration.</li> <li>Compare predictions against pool- and flow-boiling experimental databases.</li> <li>Investigate model compatibility, sensitivity and generalisability across operating conditions.</li> <li>Extend the modular framework with new closures from the literature.</li> </ul> <h2 id="related-research">Related research</h2> <p>XBOIL was developed for the study <em>Evaluations of boiling heat flux partitioning and bubble parameter models using a 0-D framework</em>, published in the <em>International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer</em>.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/omid-bidar/XBOIL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View XBOIL on GitHub</a></p>
