CFD-simulation of boiling in a heated pipe including flow pattern transitions using the GENTOP concept

•Boiling flow inside a wall heated vertical pipe is simulated by a multi-field CFD approach.•The paper presents the extension of the GENTOP model for phase transfer.•The simulation of flow regimes transitions during boiling in a pipe is now feasible. Boiling flow inside a wall heated vertical pipe i...
