A numerical model for transport in flat heat pipes considering wick microstructure effects (2011, methodology): “The authors previously [2,21] showed that Marangoni convection is insignificant in enhancing evaporation in wick pores, and therefore, heat transfer at this scale is determined to first order by thermal conduction.”
A review of small heat pipes for electronics (2016, methodology): “[84, 85] developed a model to calculate the evaporating liquid meniscus in wick microstructures under saturated vapour conditions.”

Planar vapor chamber with hybrid evaporator wicks for the thermal management of high-heat-flux and high-power optoelectronic devices (2013, background): “Only pure conduction is considered in the heat transfer model as a previous study suggested that the internal convection has relatively small effects [14,15].”
