History, Advances, and Challenges in Liquid Flow and Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Microchannels: A Critical Review (2012, background): “During 2005–2006, new work was presented on numerically modeling bubble growth, overcoming instabilities, and the use of enhanced structures for heat transfer [14,125–131].”
Flow boiling in microchannels: Fundamentals and applications (2017, background): “Kandlikar [84] discussed nucleation and instability in microchannels and reported that the location of boiling incipience affected flow reversal, and thus the oscillation in the measured parameters such as pressure and temperature.”
