Abstract
In this study, we present a novel fixed-grid interface-tracking method using finite volume method to simulate multidimensional rapid solidification (RS) of under-cooled pure metal. The discretized advection equation for solid fraction function is solved using the THINC/WLIC method, which is a VOF method. The governing equations for fluid flow are solved numerically using pressure-velocity coupling SIMPLE algorithm in a 2-D model with incompressible Newtonian fluid. The energy equation is modeled using an enthalpy-based formulation. The nonequilibrium solidification kinetics, interface tracking, undercooling, nucleation, heat transfer, and movement of liquid are included in the presented RS model.
