“…Next, in equations (3-7) and (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), the convective fluxes on the left-hand side (i.e., d g v and e l g v ) and the interfacial mass generation sources due to phase-change on the right-hand side (i.e., sd and ed ) need to be rewritten in terms of the mixture velocity m l l g v v and phase fractions, respectively. To substitute sd and ed , one first need to write the continuity equations for the solid and extra-dendritic liquids, which read (2, 10, 48, 49)…”
