Abstract

A time-dependent process of directional crystallization with a two-phase (mushy) region with allowance for vigorous convection in the liquid phase is analytically described. An exact solution of non-linear mushy layer equations is found in a parametric form. The temperature and solute concentration distributions, as well as the solid phase fraction profile, are determined in the two-phase and liquid regions. The moving boundary of phase transition, which is placed between the two-phase zone and liquid is defined as a function of time. The present analytical solutions are in good agreement with laboratory experiments on ice grown from aqueous solutions of isopropanol.
