- Vapour bubble formation is ubiquitous in natural and technological phenomena. The phase change inception, occurring at the nanoscale, critically affects the subsequent bubble growth dynamics at larger scales. This paper is significant because it proposed a reduced, spherically-averaged, model based on our previous Fluctuating Diffuse Interface framework. It allows further reduction of the computational cost, still capturing the spontaneous bubble nucleation through fluctuations, and enabling the full-scale simulation of the inertial bubble growth up to macroscopic dimension.
