Abstract

A non-local flux, constructed as a weighted sum of local gradients, is introduced into a standard solidification model. A particular choice of weights leads to a flux expressed as a Caputo fractional derivative. Numerical solution, indicates that-in modeling solidification at microstructure scales of ∼5 mm-the presence of non-locality influences the distribution of temperature and liquid fraction and also increase the expected exponent in the characteristic solidification time scale.
