  • Melting driven by natural convection : a comparison exercise: first results = Fusion contrôlée par convection naturelle : un exercice de comparaison: premiers résultats
    Bertrand, Olivier ...
    This paper presents the first results of a benchmark problem concerning the simulation of coupled natural convection and melting from an isothermal vertical wall. The exercise is restricted to the ... simulation of phase change of pure substances, driven by laminar natural convection in 2D enclosures. The comparison covers two ranges of Prandtl numbers, corresponding to the melting of metals or organic materials. The results of test cases are presented in detail and show that, while qualitative agreement is obtained in most simulations, it is still relevant to proceed to thorough numerical comparisons before assessing the accuracy of different algorithms. The dispersion of the results is a strong motivation to extend the exercise to a second stage incorporating a larger number of contributions.
