▪ Abstract As a molten alloy or any multi-component liquid is cooled and solidified the
growing solid phase usually forms a porous matrix through which the residual liquid can …

Intense fluid motions can be generated by the solidification of a binary liquid. This review
paper describes systematically some of the concepts involved in the fluid mechanics of …

We Present a mathematical model for the region of dendritic or cellular growth which often
forms during the solidification of alloys. The model treats the region of mixed phase (solid …

The solidification of melts can be profoundly influenced by convection. In alloys,
compositional convection can be driven by solute gradients generated as one component of …

Heat provides the energy that drives almost all geological phenomena and sets the
temperature at which these phenomena operate. This book explains the key physical …

This paper presents a synopsis of some recent work, still in progress, aimed at elucidating a
quantitative explanation of the processes by which flow chimneys form when certain types of …

We reexamine five processes that have been suggested to be important for the loss of salt
from sea ice. These processes are the initial fractionation of salt at the ice‐ocean interface …

Because of thermoelectric effects, a local current density appears in the dendritic network
during the solidification of a metallic alloy. Thus, when a magnetic field is applied, a Lorentz …

Fractional crystallization and partial melting involve relative motion of liquid and solid
phases and chemical and thermal interactions between them. To elucidate some physical …

Governing equations for a mushy layer are analysed in the asymptotic regime Rm [Gt] 1,
where Rm is an appropriately defined Rayleigh number. A model is proposed in which there …
