Numerical simulation is performed for bubble motion on vertical surface. The liquid-vapor interface is determined by sharp-interface level-set method, which is modified to include the effect of phase change and to treat the contact angle and the evaporative heat flux from the liquid microlayer on an immersed solid surface. The computations are conducted for bubble growth coupled to boiling heat transfer on a surface with cavity. The effects of cavity geometries, such as depth and height, at a vertical surface on bubble motion and boiling heat transfer are investigated.
