Coupled problem of heat transfer, hydrodynamics, and solidification in a melt

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A mathematical model is constructed which describes thermal and hydrodynamic phenomena accompanying the solidification process in a melt. The equations of hydrodynamics take into account viscoelasticity and compressibility of liquid metal. An example of calculations pertaining to solidification of an ingot is given.
