Using the finite difference method, a nonstationary problem of metal solidification in a wedge-like casting mold has been solved in a two-dimensional statement with allowance for natural convection. For isolated instants of time the positions of the solidification front, the profiles of temperature, horizontal and vertical velocity components, and of the stream function have been obtained.
