PREFACE Solid-liquid phase-change phenomena are present in a !arge number of industrial applications (materials processing, crystal growth, casting of meta! - matrix composites, heat storage, food conservation, cryosurgery) and natural processes (iceberg evolution, magma chambers, crust formation). It is generally recognized that the dynamics of such phase change processes are largely influenced by natural convection. Numerical simulation of these non-linear, moving boundary, thermal and fluid jlow problems is not a trivial task. The phenomena occurring during solidification of different materials or in different corifigurations are so diverse that no unique, simple description covering all ranges and scales is possible at the moment. Therefore, the modelling of phase change processes present in practical configurations requires the profound understanding of limitations of the existing physical and numerical models. Validation and verification of the numerical models before their implementation to practical industrial situations becomes an important issue if quantitative modelling of the real physical problems is a target.
