Detailed 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, 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 <name>:alpha1 which can be visualised to to show the melt distribution as a fraction [0-1]
