Abstract

A methodology for analyzing and evaluating macroscopic level of first-order phase transition in 3D printer technology is proposed. A classic Stefan-Schwarz task was used. A 3D mathematical model of the Stefan-Schwarz problem is made. The finite element method for numerical solution is applied.
A numerical experiment was evaluated. A geometric drop (flow) model in 3D printer technology is proposed. The idea of filling a “flow” drop by smaller droplets than a “flow” has been investigated numerically. The temperature field at filling in the flow as hereditary was investigated.
