摘要

This article reviews several mathematical formulations including the corresponding boundary conditions for numerical predictions of solidification and melting. Emphasis is on techniques that are used in solving solid-liquid interface phenomena. The fixed grid enthalpy method is reviewed based on the solution techniques of conduction and convection related phase change problems. Variable grid methods are categorized and then analyzed based on their accuracy, computational efforts and convergence characteristics. The article concludes with some guidance for selecting the accurate solution techniques for solving solidification and melting problems.
