The channel segregation with string shape from near the cold wall side was observed by the X-ray CT and those segregation patterns could be reproduced by the numerical analysis. Low concentration regions also appeared above the channel segregation in both X-ray CT images and numerical analysis results. These results suggest that the proposed numerical method is a reasonable model to simulate the channel segregation. Detailed investigation of the effects of convection on the generation of channel segregation showed that a solidification-accelerated region (SA-region) and solidification-retarded region (SR-region) were formed by the fluid flow. At the SA-region, solidification was accelerated by the inflow of lower Bi concentrated liquid. On the other hand, in the SR-region, solidification was retarded by the inflow of the liquid with high Bi concentration from the SA-region. It was found that the SA-region (called donor part) and SR-region (called acceptor part) group into pairs, and generate the channel segregation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
