Abstract
The paper presents recent progress in modelling of boiling phenomena. It has been pointed out that the majority of the approaches are based on static models, i.e. on the concept of searching for stationary or quasi-stationary states which determine the heat transfer. Usually, the analysis of stochastic phenomena neglects local changes of the temperature of the heating surface and local heat flux. The fundamental ideas of deterministic chaos along with their implementation in the analysis of boiling are also presented in the paper. The literature survey shows that the phenomena of chaos have been observed and analysed in boiling flow along with the fractal properties of phase separation surface and the heat wave front.
