Compressibility of metal phase

[olegrog]

For $\rho_1 = \rho_1(\phi_m, T)$ and $\partial_t\rho_2 = 0$, we have

$$ \partial_t\alpha_1 + \mathbf{\nabla\cdot}(\alpha_1\mathbf{u}) = \mathbf{\nabla\cdot}\mathbf{u}, $$

where

$$ \mathbf{\nabla\cdot}\mathbf{u} = - \frac{\alpha_1}{\rho_1}D_t\rho_1 = - \frac{\alpha_1}{\rho_1}\left(\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial\phi_m} D_t\phi_m + \frac{\partial\rho}{\partial T} D_t T\right). $$

This is so cool.

Do you know, if OpenFOAM can solve where the crack is developing in context of ice melting into water?

I don't know about it. Try to use forum for such questions. https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/
