Hello,

I am trying to simulate laser melting using OpenFOAM v1812 and the icoReactingMultiphaseInterFoam solver. I can run a single track and get phase change (alpha.solid and alpha.liquid), but the density change is not represented physically in my output (myCapture.jpeg)

I don't know how to incorporate this phase change in the mesh like other examples I see online. See attached pictures... (These are screencaptures of videos I do not own - from youtube).

Any tips or advice? Do I need to include refineMesh tools in my solver?

Thanks in advance.
