A Numerical Simulation of an Experimental Melting Process of a Phase-Change Material without Convective Flows

The melting process of lauric acid in a square container heated from the top surface was numerically studied from an experimental case. Knowledge of this process is of special interest for computationally efficient modeling systems, such as PCM-enhanced photovoltaic panels in horizontal positions or...
