Abstract

We have developed and analyzed numerically a simple ordinary differential equation for a mush. Numerical solutions illustrate that the solid fraction at the bottom of the mush increases and the depth of the mush decreases when convection increases. The results are consistent to those observed in experiments with aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride（Loper ＆ Roberts［11］, Chen & Chen［2］, Tait ＆ Jaupart［11］）and in experiments with lead-tin alloys（Hellawell etc.［6］）.
