Abstract
The model is based on the enthalpy formulation, resolved using an in-house numerical code based on finite volumes. For the single phase cooling, it is validated using the well-known solutions from the literature. The model is then compared to experimental results of solidification of supercooled gallium in a vertical cylindrical mold. Accordingly, heat transfer in the mold is also included. It is shown that the model reflects the experimental results fairly well, in particular when predicting temperatures at various locations inside the material. Also, physically sound solidification patterns are obtained.
