Three-dimensional numerical model of solidification with motion of the liquid phase
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents numerical modeling of solidification process with convective motion of the liquid phase, generated both in the liquid and mushy zones. The transition region between the areas filled with liquid and solid is treated as a porous medium, which incorporates the suppression of fluid motion caused by the solid phase growth. Mathematical and numerical models of the phenomenon for threedimensional domain are presented. To solve the problem Finite Element Method is used. The results obtained from numerical simulation are presented and discussed.
