An enthalpy formulation based fixed grid methodology is developed for the numerical solution of convection-diffusion controlled mushy region phase-change problems. The basic feature of the proposed method lies in the representation of the latent heat of evolution, and of the flow in the solid-liquid mushy zone, by suitably chosen sources. There is complete freedom within the methodology for the definition of such sources so that a variety of phase-change situations can be modelled. A test problem of freezing in a thermal cavity under natural convection is used to demonstrate an application of the method.
