Solidification from a Cooled Boundary with a Mushy Layer Under Conditions of Nonturbulent and Turbulent Heat and Mass Transfer in the Ocean

We present new analytic results relating to the nonstationary Stefan-type problems for the unidirectional solidification of binary solutions with a mushy layer under conditions of nonturbulent and turbulent heat and mass transfer in the liquid phase. Explicit analytical solutions (thickness of mushy layer and growth rates of its boundaries, temperature and salinity distributions, solid phase fraction) of the nonlinear model under consideration are found. Model predictions are in good agreement with existing experimental data.
