摘      要：A non-equilibrium model of multicomponent melt solidification has been developed in which a Stefan problem with two boundaries is solved numerically, the boundaries being between the solid phase and the two-phase transition zone and between the two-phase transition zone and the liquid phase. The two-phase zone is represented as a porous medium with variable porosity. The additional force resisting the melt flow due to porosity and introduced by analogy with Darcy＇s law is taken into account. Computer simulation has been performed of the experiment on Sn-20 wt.%Pb binary alloy solidification by the method of downward-directed crystallization along the gravity vector. The paper shows the results of a quasi two-dimensional benchmark experiment on horizontal （i.e., at the right angle to the gravity vector） directional solidification of a binary Sn-3 wt.%Pb alloy. The calculations were done using two crystallization models： the equilibrium model and the non-equilibrium one. It is shown that the non-equilibrium model gives a better description of the thermal field evolution and solute distribution caused by natural convection.
