Semi-Implicit Fem Analysis of Natural Convection in Freezing Water

this paper in the context of the presented FEM model and its algorithm. Commonly used benchmark problems are solve d to ve rify the algorithm accuracy and performance . Next, natural convection in pure and freezing water is studied expe rimentally, through the use of sophisticated full-fie ld acquisition expe rimental technique s. The measured ve locity and temperature fields are compared with the pertinent calculations in the code validation analysis. The pape r conclude s with a discussion of the scope of congruity and potential reasons for some disparity between the calculate d results and experimental findings.
