TLDR
In this paper, the authors used CFD ANSYS fluent software to simulate the freeze desalination process and showed that the achieved average ice salinity in the second stage of freezing process was below 0.05% which is regarded as good quality drinking water; also freezing at 225'k temperature produced the largest pure ice volume.About:

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.
