Abstract
By assuming that the freezing front is similar in shape to the surface, an expression is obtained for the shape factors of ellipses and ellipsoids. This expression agreed well with numerical results for the case of infinite Biot number but disagreed by up to 17% for intermediate Biot numbers. A curve-fitting expression is proposed that agrees with numerical results to within 6%.
