Abstract:This paper introduces a new modification to the convective Cahn–Hilliard equation and a lattice Boltzmann framework to simulate liquid–solid phase transitions in multicomponent systems. The model takes into account changes in properties, such as density, caused by solidification, which leads to volume expansion or contraction. After validating the proposed model against classical problems and experimental data, the solidification of a sessile droplet was investigated in detail. Results of numerical simulations… Show more
