Abstract

A basic model of the transport phenomena occurring during solidification of multicomponent mixtures is presented. The model is based on a two-phase approach, in which each phase is treated separately and interactions between the phases are considered explicitly. The macroscopic transport equations for each phase are derived using the technique of volumetric averaging. The basic forms of the constitutive relations are developed. These relations link the macroscopic transport phenomena to microscopic processes such as microstructure development, interfacial stresses, and interfacial heat and mass transfer. Thermodynamic relations are presented, and it is shown that nonequilibrium effects can be addressed within the framework of the present model. Various simplifications of the model are examined, and future modeling needs are discussed.
