Numerical Simulation of Melting of Phase Change Material in a Square Cavity with a Heat Source

Abstract:

Melting and solidification problems are important in applications of many industries. In the present work mathematical simulation of natural convection with phase transition inside an enclosure with a local heat source has been carried out. Partial differential equations with corresponding initial and boundary conditions have been solved using the finite difference method. The effect of temperature differences on fluid flow and heat transfer has been discussed.
