Nonlinear mushy-layer convection with chimneys: stability and optimal solute fluxes
Andrew J. Wells, John S. Wettlaufer, Steven A. Orszag
We model buoyancy-driven convection with chimneys -- channels of zero solid fraction -- in a mushy layer formed during directional solidification of a binary alloy in two-dimension…

Finite-sample-size effects on convection in mushy layers
Jin-Qiang Zhong, Anthony T. Fragoso, Andrew J. Wells +1
We report theoretical and experimental investigations of the flow instability responsible for the mushy-layer mode of convection and the formation of chimneys, drainage channels de…
