Boiling Heat Transfer in Minichannels

Open-source tools and documentation for research on flow boiling heat transfer in annular and rectangular minichannels.

Overview

This repository is the public software and documentation layer of a research project focused on experimental and computational studies of heat transfer in compact minichannel systems.

The repository is intended for:

• public code and analysis tools,
• workflow documentation,
• example notebooks,
• selected example datasets,
• reproducible engineering research support.

Scientific scope

The project covers:

• flow boiling and single-phase heat transfer,
• annular and rectangular minichannel geometries,
• controlled surface wettability,
• infrared thermography and flow visualization,
• CFD modelling,
• Trefftz-based inverse methods,
• machine-learning-assisted model development.

Repository structure

• data_examples – example workflows, data or results
• `publications,posters/files

Public repository policy

This repository may contain code, documentation, example notebooks, and selected public-ready data examples.

It should not contain:

• unpublished manuscript drafts,
• confidential project administration files,
• full raw experimental archives,
• internal meeting notes,
• reviewer correspondence,
• restricted institutional materials.

Status

Active research repository. Public materials will be expanded gradually during the project.
