Effect of gravity on the solidification of binary alloys - A numerical simulation

Roger West

Abstract

Abstract The paper illustrates the influence of gravity on convection in the mushy zone of solidifying alloys by numerical solution of the governing equations for the fluid flow. Different models for the permeability are compared and the effect of convection in the liquid ahead of the solidification front is taken into account.
