Numerical simulation of Bridgman solidification of binary alloys
Abstract
A transient 2D axisymmetric numerical model for the Bridgman solidification process for a stationary furnace and moving sample is presented. The model is able to predict the evolution of temperature and solid fraction of binary alloys in cases where buoyancy induced convection is negligible, such as in microgravity conditions. A dimensionless form of the governing equations was derived in order to identify the dimensionless parameters that …
