Boiling heat transfer and the controllability of the thermal load of the cylinder head were studied.The thermodynamic phase change characteristics of the cylinder head coolant were considered and the mass,momentumand energy transfers between two phases were calculated with the interface transfer submodels by using the computational fluid dynamics software CFX. Results showed that compared with the single-phase flow without considering the boiling heat transfer,the sub-cooled boiling heat transfer of the cylinder head was greatly increased. According to the results of the numerical simulation,an optimized structure of the water jacket was proposed. Finally,temperature and velocity of coolant,diameter of flow passage and mean bubble diameter that influences sub-cooled boiling were studied using the orthogonal experiment method.
