A fixed grid numerical modelling methodology for convection-diffusion mushy region phase-change problems
Vaughan R Voller,C. Prakash +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an enthalpy formulation based fixed grid methodology is developed for the numerical solution of convection-diffusion controlled mushy region phase-change problems, where the basic feature of the proposed method lies in the representation of the latent heat of evolution, and of the flow in the solid-liquid mushy zone, by suitably chosen sources.
