Abstract
Solidification and cooling processes proceeding in the metal domain can be described in different ways. One of them consists in the application of the Fourier-type equation in which the additional term (source function) controlling the solidification process is introduced. In this paper this type of energy equation is used, but for the phase change modeling the equation discussed is in some way transformed. Such a modification is possible if one considers the pure metal for which the solidification point is a constant value. The numerical model used at the stage of computations is based on the Control Volume Method. In the final part of the paper, examples of computations are shown.
