The key aspects of the model are the Navier-Stokes equations including a free capillary surface and wetting for the liquid part and, either a two-phase Stefan problem (interface capturing) or the heat equation in combination with a Stefan condition (interface tracking) to consider the energy balance and allow solid-liquid phase transitions. Both approaches lead to different numerical methods based on an ALE finite element discretization, in which the numerical treatment of the triple junction (solid, liquid, surrounding gas) is crucial. In order to benefit from each method's advantages whilst avoiding their disadvantages, a combined method is proposed. As a simpler but less accurate alternative, a stabilized variant of the interface capturing approach is proposed. The simulation results are validated using experimental data.deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesslaser beam weldingthermal upsettingmeltingsolidificationfluid dynamicsNavier-StokesStefan problemfree capillary surfacewettingtriple junctionsfinite element methodinterface trackinginterface capturingALE formulationdecoupling strategy510Dissertationurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00106445-14
