Mixed finite elements for convection-coupled phase-change in enthalpy form: Open software verified and applied to 2D benchmarks
Alexander Gary Zimmerman, Julia Kowalski
Melting and solidification processes are often affected by natural convection of the liquid, posing a multi-physics problem involving fluid flow, convective and diffusive heat tran…

Monolithic simulation of convection-coupled phase-change - verification and reproducibility
Alexander G. Zimmerman, Julia Kowalski
Phase interfaces in melting and solidification processes are strongly affected by the presence of convection in the liquid. One way of modeling their transient evolution is to coup…
