Abstract

Mathematical model of thermomigration of liquid inclusions through a crystal under stationary and non-stationary thermal conditions is presented. It is assumed that the mass-transfer is provided by diffusion only, the crystallization and dissolution processes are carried out in accordance with the diffuse interface mechanism for atomic-rough (non-singular) interfaces and screw-dislocation or two-dimension nucleation mechanisms for singular interfaces.

The package of computer programs based on this model enables simulation of the evolution of the cross-sectional shape of cylindrical liquid inclusions. It is possible to simulate the cases of various inclusion sizes, various relationship between the interface and volume mass-transfer restrictions, various liquid phase composition, thermal gradient under stationary and non-stationary thermal conditions as well. The main results of the simulation are presented.
