Description
Simple solidification porosity model
This is a simple approximation to solidification where the solid phase
is represented as a porous blockage with the drag-coefficient evaluated from
\f[
S = - \alpha \rho D(T) U
\f]
where
\vartable
\alpha | Optional phase-fraction of solidifying phase
D(T) | User-defined drag-coefficient as function of temperature
\endvartable
Note that the latent heat of solidification is not included and the
temperature is unchanged by the modelled change of phase.
Example of the solidification model specification:
\verbatim
type solidification;
solidificationCoeffs
{
// Solidify between 330K and 330.5K
D table
(
(330.0 10000) // Solid below 330K
(330.5 0) // Liquid above 330.5K
);
// Optional phase-fraction of solidifying phase
alpha alpha.liquid;
// Solidification porosity is isotropic
// use the global coordinate system
coordinateSystem
{
type cartesian;
origin (0 0 0);
coordinateRotation
{
type axesRotation;
e1 (1 0 0);
e2 (0 1 0);
}
}
}
\endverbatim
