Solidification pipes: from solder pots to igneous rocks
M. Stewart Siu, Dmitry Budker
Abstract
When a substance that shrinks in volume as it solidifies (for example, lead) is melted in a container and then cooled, a deep hole is often found in the center after resolidification. We use a simple model to describe the shape of the pipe and compare it with experimental results.
