Solidification by cfx

Hi,

Is there a possibility to simulate the solidification (Exp. Water Solidification) by CFX?

If yes, please guid me how and where

regards,

Yes, you can do it - but CFX has no built in solidification model so you have to develop it yourself. It is not for a beginner CFD person to attempt. It also depends on what physics you are trying to capture; if you just want to have flowing water which stops moving that is one thing, but if you want to include subcooling, nucleation and all that sort of detail it is significantly harder.

There is no tutorial on it that I have seen. If you have an ANSYS support contract you could ask support as they have lots of tutorials beyond those publicly available.

Hi, have you found any tutorial or starting point? I am looking to model solidification in Ansys CFX as well.
