Abstract

After a brief review of current source-based methods for modeling solidification phase change systems, a new source-based method for the treatment of latent heat evolution is presented. The essential feature of the proposed method is linearization of the discretized source term. This results in a robust and accurate computational method that can deal efficiently with a wide range of latent heat evolution mechanisms (i.e., liquid fraction temperature relationships). The proposed method is illustrated on application to a test problem in which various liquid fraction temperature relationships are employed.
