ShareSummary
TWO-DIMENSIONAL MELTING OF A SOLID PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL IN A RECTANGULAR ENCLOSURE HEATED FROM ONE SIDE IS SIMULATED NUMERICALLY. THE SIMULATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT BY DIVIDING THE PROCESS IN A LARGE NUMBER OF QUASI-STATIC STEPS. IN EACH STEP, STEADY-STATE NATURAL CONVECTION IN THE LIQUID PHASE IS CALCULATED BY DIRECTLY SOLVING THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS OF MOTION WITH A FINITE DIFFERENCE TECHNIQUE. THE PREDICTIONS ARE FOUND TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH EXPERIMENT.
