I have read published works and have seen that it can be modelled in Fluent. I have learnt that it can be modelled using Solidification\/Melting and VoF in Fluent. To add the source terms, I need to write UDFs. The main issue I am facing is in designing the model from scratch. I am facing problem in designing the inert gas domain and solid metal below. How to model these two domains together? I have also learnt that the solid part can be modelled as a fluid of high viscosity. But I am unable to start the design of the model. Please help me. I am running out of time, so any help is much appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-159791","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-vof"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_view_count":["13303"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["3374"],"_bbp_subscription":["242319"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["159791"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","167859","184487"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["15"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["183250"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["183250"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-07-05 10:35:31"]},"test":"pawan"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/159791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/159791\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
