title = "Scaling analysis of alloy solidification and fluid flow in a rectangular cavity",
abstract = "A scaling analysis was performed to predict trends in alloy solidification in a side-cooled rectangular cavity. The governing equations for energy and momentum were scaled in order to determine the dependence of various aspects of solidification on the process parameters for a uniform initial temperature and an isothermal boundary condition. This work improved on previous analyses by adding considerations for the cooling bulk fluid flow. The analysis predicted the time required to extinguish the superheat, the maximum local solidification time, and the total solidification time. The results were compared to a numerical simulation for a Al-4.5 wt.% Cu alloy with various initial and boundary conditions. Good agreement was found between the simulation results and the trends predicted by the scaling analysis.",
