Abstract
Three-dimensional melting of ice around a liquid-carrying tube placed in an adiabatic rectangular cavity is investigated mainly by means of a numerical analysis. Natural convection in the melt layer enhances melting by about 1.2 times compared with the approximate solution of a conduction mode derived from London and Seban and Hausen. The morphology of the melt layer changes in axial direction. Melting is not sensitive to the cavity height and the tube length, but is very responsive to the liquid inlet temperature.
