Notable changes:
1. The same wall function is now used for both phases, but user must
specify phaseType ‘liquid’ or ‘vapor’
2. Runtime selectable submodels for:
- wall heat flux partitioning between the phases
- nucleation site density
- bubble departure frequency
- bubble departure diameter
3. An additional iteration loop for the wall boiling model in case
the initial guess for the wall temperature proves to be poor.
The wallBoiling tutorial has been updated to demonstrate this new functionality.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
