In the present work we investigate the growth of single vapor bubbles under conditions which are typical for flash evaporation.The Discontinuous Galerkin approach is used to solve for the Euler equations where special Riemann solvers are applied at the liquid-vapor interface.These Riemann solvers capture the wave dynamics consisting of contact discontinuity,shock,rarefaction and evaporation waves.The dependencies of bubble growth on liquid back pressure,the ambient temperature and the initial bubble size are investigated.The growth rates are independent of liquid back pressure and initial bubble size if pressure differences between bubble and surroundings are large enough.Temperature changes will affect bubble growth if pressure ratios are kept constant and the absolute pressure difference becomes small.Thus,small scale bubble growth can be assumed to be universal within a certain range of parameter variations only.
