A nonstationary problem of solidification of an ingot in molds with walls of varying thermal conductivity has been solved by the variational method with account taken of forced convection in the liquid phase of the metal. A formula for the temperature distribution in the liquid phase and the dependence of the time of advance of the solidification front on its coordinates have been obtained. Numerical calculations of the time of solidification of the ingot in castiron and ceramic molds have been done at different convection rates.
