Geometry

 

   Both subcooling and superheating cases are considered. The lower boundary is assumed to open to  a large reservoir. The left and right side boundary set to a higher or lower temperature, depending on the case. The upper boundary is the curved meniscus that is adjacent to the vapor region.
