This paper presents a direct numerical work on the freezing process of a water drop that is either sessile on or pendant from a cold plate. The numerical technique used is an axisymmetric front-tracking method to represent interfaces that separate different phases. The sessile drop corresponds to positive Bond numbers Bo (i.e., Bo > 0), and the pendant drop represents the other values of Bo. Numerical...
