Abstract
The differences in densities between liquid and solid phases results i n a concave surface during solidification. The final shape after compl ete solidification is obtained by considering the conservation of the nass without any reference to the detailed transport processes. An eas y and quick procedure is described to predict the final shape of the s olid phase for planar and cylindrical configurations. The results are validated by comparison with an existing data.
