Abstract
The numerical simulation of natural convection in the Hale-Shaw cell d uring horizontal Bridgman solidification reveals that the convection p resents even for the very thin cell. The effects of the horizontal tem perature gradient, G, thickness of the cell, H, temperature difference between the top and bottom of the cell, and other parameters :have be en studied. These findings have been confirmed by experiments through direct observation and measurement of convection in the cell containin g succinonitrile transparent model alloy.
