A simple model for a mush

  • Published : 1997.11.01

Abstract

We have derived a simple ODE system for the mush by assuming that the temperature T, the solid fraction $\phi$ and the vertical component $\omega$ of the velocity, depend on z only. Analytical solutions of the system have presentd in case of $\omega << 1 and \phi << 1$.
