Summary

EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED IN A CYLINDRICAL CAPSULE COOLED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND ORIENTED VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY TO OBTAIN QUANTITATIVE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION AND FUSION FRONT MOTION AND SHAPE DATA. DISTILLED WATER WAS USED AS THE PHASE-CHANGE MATERIAL. A MATHEMATICAL MODEL HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND SENSITIVITY STUDIES HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT. COMPARISON OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA WITH PREDICTIONS OF THE SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE POSITION AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION SHOWS GOOD AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, FOR A SYSTEM OF ALUMINIUM BEADS AND WATER THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTY MODEL IS INADEQUATE.
