Sinopsis

An experimental investigation is presented of the nature of waves formed on a melting surface of a flat plate in a heated air stream. By varying material properties and test conditions a range of values of a new melting parameter is obtained. This parameter indicates the melting to heating rates and its effects on the resulting wave behavior is determined. It is found that the salient features of the melting waves depend on this parameter. Simple relations are obtained for wave velocity, amplitude, and spacing. A "critical" or minimum condition is also established for the appearance of melt waves.
