Highlights
• The energy non-conservation problem of the hybrid thermal LB phase change
model is pointed out.

• An improve hybrid model is Proposed by introducing an infinite volume discrete

scheme.

• An innovative nucleation site treatment is adopted in the simulation of the

boiling phenomenon with the proposed model.

Abstract
This paper investigates the energy non-conservation problem of the hybrid thermal lattice
Boltzmann (LB) phase change model. To solve this problem, an infinite volume discrete
scheme was introduced to deal with the diffusion term in the energy equation. After verifying
this model with energy conservation law in the simulation of the one-dimensional heat

conduction across the liquid-vapor interface and the liquid film evaporation on the heating
wall, the improved hybrid thermal LB model was then applied in the two-dimensional
simulation of bubble nucleation and boiling heat transfer. With an innovative nucleation site
treatment on the wall, the complete boiling stages and the boiling curve were successfully
reproduced without adding any heating fluctuations. The bubble nucleation, growth,
departure, and coalescence were also well-captured. Some basic features of boiling heat
transfer were clearly observed in the numerical results, including the bubble nucleation site
activation, bubble departure frequency, character of bubble shape at different regime, and
horizontal movement of bubble during the boiling process.
