Abstract
Numerical study of both the solidification of the binary alloy Al-4.1%wtCu and macrosegregation formation have been carried out. The Bennon and Incropera continuum model was used in the development of the mathematical model representing the solidification phenomena. This model included the conservative equations; these equations were disctretized by using the finite volume method. The numerical solution of the disctretized conservative equations was performed by means of the SIMPLER algorithm.
