A three-dimensional numerical model, employing the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method, was developed for a single-loop oscillating heat pipe (OHP) with variable diameters. The investigation explored the impact of varying pipe diameter ratios on flow and heat transfer characteristics at different operation...
