Hello, would you mind if you can share your solver and a test case? I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I ran it with Openfoam 6, so I guess it will work with openfoam 7 too. But I doubt whether it will run with openfoam8. Feel free to post any errors you get.

Hi,

I just saw the message. I have used this with Openfoam 6.

Thanks

Upon convergence of the iterative process, both energy is conserved and melt_fraction residuals should be very small.

When you have a mushy zone, you need to replace Tmelt_ but the temperature corresponding to alpha1_[celli] (either using a formula -- lever rule, Scheil or whatever --) or a lookup table.
Hello, the way I understood the code, the alpha is just computed once for every time step. How could you say that the alpha residuals are computed and should be very small?
