Numerical Simulation of the Solidification Process Under the Effect of Nature Convection

The process of solidification is numerically simulated with control volume method. The authors study the nature convection in the liquid phase and flow pattern of nature convection during the process of solidification. The result of simulation shows that there are the global flow cells inside the liquid phase, and the local circumfluence exists in the global cells. Especially, the authors analyze transformation of the interface between phases under the effect of free convection on the process of solidification.
