Class
    Foam::fv::solidificationMeltingSource

Description
    This source is designed to model the effect of solidification and melting
    processes, e.g. windhield defrosting.  The phase change occurs at the
    melting temperature, \c Tmelt.

    The presence of the solid phase in the flow field is incorporated into the
    model as a momentum porosity contribution; the energy associated with the
    phase change is added as an enthalpy contribution.

    Based on the references:

      1. V.R. Voller and C. Prakash, A fixed grid numerical modelling
         methodology for convection-diffusion mushy phase-change problems,
         Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 30(8):17091719, 1987.
      2. C.R. Swaminathan. and V.R. Voller, A general enthalpy model for
         modeling solidification processes, Metallurgical Transactions
         23B:651664, 1992.

    The model generates a field \c <name>:alpha1 which can be visualised to
    to show the melt distribution as a fraction [0-1]

Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    solidificationMeltingSource1
    {
        type            solidificationMeltingSource;
        active          yes;

        solidificationMeltingSourceCoeffs
        {
            selectionMode   cellZone;
            cellZone        iceZone;

            Tmelt           273;
