ABSTRACT

The problem of transient natural convection of freezing water in a cube-shaped cavity is investigated experimentally. By immersing the cavity in the external water bath, the effect of the heat transfer through the side walls is studied. The velocity and temperature fields are measured using liquid crystal tracers. The transient development of the ice/water interface is measured.
