The heat transfer of supercritical pseudo-boiling has been preliminarily studied, but the definition of gas-liquid interface is still not unified. The fluid-structure coupling numerical simulation of heat transfer characteristics in supercritical CO
2 pool is carried out by using laminar flow model. Platinum wire is the heating element, with diameter
d = 70 μm. The heat flux density
qw is in a range of 0–2000 kW/m
2, and the pressure
P is in a range of 8–10 MPa. Multi-scale mesh is used to model the heating wire, and simulation values accord well with the experimental data. The results show that due to the increase of the circumferential average Rayleigh number
Raave of the heating filament with
qw, the characteristic of the natural convection zone is that
h increases with
qw. The temperatures of the four characteristic working conditions in the evaporation-like zone show a downward trend along the
r direction. Through analogy with subcritical heat transfer and by calculating the thermal conductivity ratio
Qcon/
Qt, the supercritical is divided into three regions,
T <
TL is liquid-like region (LL),
TL <
T <
TM is two-phase-like region (TPL),
T >
TM is vapor-like region (VL). The rule is the same as that of
x partition according to supercritical pseudo-boiling dryness. According to the curves of average thermal conductivity
λave and thermal resistance
RG versus heat flux
qw, determined by calculating thermal conductivity ratio, the variation law of heat transfer coefficient
h with
qw in evaporation-like region can be well explained, as
qw increases, the thermal conductivity thermal resistance
RG increases, and the heat from the heating filament is difficult to transfer to the fluid outside the vapor-like membrane, leading the heat transfer coefficient
h to decrease when
qA <
qw <
qC, and a significant increase in
λave when
qw >
qC, and the recovery of heat transfer when
h rises again. In this paper, a new method of determining the gas-liquid interface of supercritical pool heat transfer is proposed. This method can effectively explain the heat transfer mechanism in the evaporation-like zone, and provide a theoretical basis for developing supercritical pool heat transfer in the future.
