  Hello everyone!
  I am working on the simulation of the melting of a phase change material, a paraffin wax with the result will be like this:

  Read up on how the model works, otherwise it's a case of turning it on and patching the temperatures into the domain. Is the solid paraffin in liquid paraffin?

  Thank you for your answer.
  The paraffin sphere is only one piece, and it's solid. But how to make it melt like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxZE5v73dsQ ?

  Have a look at the solidification and melting model in Fluent.
