Abstract

The drag force experienced by a ceramic particle being steadily pushed by a metallic solidification front is calculated using a sharp interface numerical technique. The effects of thermal conductivity ratio between the particle and the melt (less than one for the ceramic–metal system) are accounted for in obtaining the drag expression. The drag expression is cast in two forms, the first expresses the drag as a function of the thermal conductivity ratio between the particle and the melt and the second as a function of the radius of curvature of the solid–liquid interface.
