Abstract

The major methods of mathematical modelling of solidification and melting problems are reviewed in this paper. Different analytical methods, nowadays still used as standard references to validate numerical models, are presented. Various mathematical formulations to numerically solve solidification and melting problems are categorized. Relative merits and disadvantages of each formulation are analyzed. Recent advances in modelling solidification and melting problems associated with convective motion of liquid phase are discussed. Based on this comprehensive survey, basic guidelines are outlined to choose a correct mathematical formulation for solving solidification and melting problems.
