Löfgren, Hans B. Ideal solidification of a liquid-metal boundary layer flow over a conveying substrate. (English) Zbl 0999.76137 J. Fluid Mech. 446, 121-131 (2001). Summary: We examine the ideal solidification problem of two-dimensional boundary layer flow of a superheated liquid-metal binary alloy over a conveying substrate. Analytical results for velocities, solute concentration and temperature field are found in the asymptotic limits of small Prandtl numbers and large Schmidt numbers. The growth of the solidifying front is shown to follow the square-root Wikipedia Wolfram MathWorld law.
