Location impact of a pair of magnetic sources on melting of a magneto-Ferro phase change substance

The current numerical study aims to observe the location impact of a pair of magnetic sources on the melting rate of a magneto-ferro phase change substance in a cavity. The advanced moving mesh method is employed to model the phase change at an exact fusion temperature. The left and right walls of the enclosure are subject to the higher and lower temperatures, respectively. Two other walls are kept insulated. The pair of the non-uniform magnetic fields are located in the vicinity of the walls of the enclosure. Galerkin finite element method is employed to obtain the numerical results. The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) deformed mesh technique allowing deformation of the interface of the molten and non-molten regions is set up. The outcomes demonstrate the dependency of the progress of the melting front to the location of the sources. When the pair of sources are placed in the vicinity of the cold wall, the melting rate is higher. On the other hand, the final time of the melting process is almost the same for the cases with the sources placed in the adjacent of the cold left and insulated bottom walls.
