Here, we develop a unified molecular-dynamics framework, combined with a PSO-based inverse method, to quantify the effective thermal conductivity of GaN under spreading heat flow. We uncover a key finding that the spreading thermal conductivity can exceed that of a single-layer GaN because introducing a heterogeneous interface transforms the bottom boundary from fully absorbing to partially transmitting, allowing ballistic phonons to bypass the dissipation bottleneck. Spreading transport also induces strong anisotropy that differs from 1-D BTE predictions due to multidimensional flux divergence. By introducing stress-relieved reference cases through substrate lattice-constant adjustment, we assess the relative contributions of interfacial structure and mismatch-induced stress, showing that structural mismatch governs GaN/Si, stress dominates GaN/SiC, and both contributions are comparable in GaN/AlN. Vibrational density of states and stress-mapping analyses reveal that interfaces generate nonuniform phonon environments inside GaN, offering an internal mechanism for conductivity reduction.

Attentions have focused more on the generality in the “typical” bubble cycle in most previous studies, but less on the stochasticity of the bubble growth process. In this study, successive heterogeneous bubble nucleation-growth-departure cycles from a fixed single cavity on a horizontal surface with the static contact angle of 59.5° in saturated nucleate pool boiling of deionized water are experimentally investigated, covering the wall superheat of 6.1–15.5 K and the system pressure of 18–99.2 kPa. Distinct stochasticity for both the growth time and the departure radius of the successive bubbles is manifested under the same system conditions, which is responsible for the discrepancies of the bubble growth coefficient under the classical theoretical framework. It is revealed that the instability of the surrounding fluid-thermal environment has a prominent influence on the stochasticity of the bubble growth coefficient, which is governed by the competition between the natural convection induced by the temperature difference and the rewetting convection induced by the bubble departure. The stochasticity of the bubble growth coefficient increases versus the Richardson Number, <em>Ri</em>, with a mutation occurring at about <em>Ri</em> = 10, while the stochasticity of the bubble departure radius closely depends on that of the bubble growth coefficient with a growing relevance versus the Jacob number. Furthermore, a method to predict the heterogeneous bubble growth is proposed in consideration of the effect of the stochasticity. This new insight captures the general characteristics of bubble growth through a dimensionless correlation, while the stochasticity is controlled in a separate dimensional correlation involving only the departure parameters.
