A comparison study of the efficiency and accuracy of a variety of meshless trial and test
functions is presented in this paper, based on the general concept of the meshless local …

We report a combined experimental and numerical investigation of a melting process
representative of latent thermal energy storage systems. The purpose of the work is to …

We develop a simple reaction model for the liquid-solid phase transition in the context of the
lattice Boltzmann method with enhanced collisions. Calculations for a two-dimensional test …

Heat pipe-assisted melting of a phase change material (PCM) housed within a vertical
cylindrical enclosure is simulated and is compared to melting induced by heating from an …

This paper presents a numerical simulation of melting of chemically pure material in two-
dimensional square cavity. A single-domain model is used which does not require interface …

The present study deals with development of a general model for close-contact melting
(CCM), and its associated physical phenomena, namely, convection in the melt and solid …

A high accuracy numerical model is used to simulate an alternate melting and solidification
cycle of a phase change material (PCM). We use a second order (in time and space) finite …

" Is the flow monocellular or multicellular?" This question was first raised by Dantzig 13 years
ago. It was about the nature of the fluid flow for the gallium melting problem in a rectangular …

Numerical simulation of melting processes is known to be tricky yet due to new application
fields they raise again the attention of both, researchers and engineers. Several approaches …

This paper demonstrates the development of meshless Local Radial Basis Function
Collocation Method (LRBFCM) for solution of three dimensional (3D) turbulent molten steel …
