Abstract

This paper presents a 2D extension of a one-dimensional model proposed initially for the analysis of macrosegregation of multicomponent alloys. Some simulations were carried out to compare the performance of an explicit/implicit time integration scheme for coupling thermal-solutal fields with a fully implicit one. Simulations carried out for the analysis of a two-dimensional solidification problem has fitted the unidirectional and two-dimensional experimental data very well.
