In particular, steady solidification fronts may exist when is larger than some critical value which depends on the parameters of the model.
If solidification is taking place, mass is conserved and momentum is lost.
By increasing the surface area a t which solidification can take place, the mushy layer enhances the release of both latent heat and rejected fluid.
For those cases the imposed flows redistribute solute in the melt, which modifies the stability boundary from the pure solidification problem.
Solidification will also be most rapid at the leading edge of the blob which will also contribute to the narrowing.
The fluid rheology is complicated yet further by the phase change of solidification.
The solidification of such a nationalist elite required the maintenance of an appropriate balance among the social orders.
The interaction between the solidification and convection that occurs when a melt is cooled from above is investigated in a series of three papers.
