A front-tracking immersed-boundary framework for simulating Lagrangian melting problems
Kevin Zhong, Christopher J. Howland, Detlef Lohse +1
In so-called Lagrangian melting problems, a solid immersed in a fluid medium is free to rotate and translate in tandem with its phase-change from solid to liquid. Such configuratio…
