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
2pool is carried out by using laminar flow model. Platinum wire is the heating element, with diameter
d= 70 μm. The heat flux density
q
wis in a range of 0–2000 kW/m
2, and the pressure
Pis 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
