Abstract
The problem that we would like to solve is to describe mathematically casting solidification and associated phenomena such as macrosegregation and macroshrinkage. To build a correct model it is first necessary to understand the physics associated with the solidification of castings. At the macro-scale level the casting is a two-phase system comprised of solid and liquid. Nucleation and growth of phases is ignored at this stage.
