Assessment of Nucleation Boiling Models and Improvement by the Chen Correlation for Two-fluid Model CFD

•We assess a total of 42 combinations of nucleation boiling models using 3-D CFD code ANSYS CFX.•No specific departure frequency model or departure diameter model could consistently perform the best.•We propose an approach to determine the departure frequency directly using the Chen correlation.•Usi...
