Description
    This source is designed to model the effect of solidification and
    melting processes, e.g. windhield defrosting, within a specified region.
    The phase change occurs at the melting temperature, \c Tmelt.
 
    The presence of the solid phase in the flow field is incorporated into the
    model as a momentum porosity contribution; the energy associated with the
    phase change is added as an enthalpy contribution.

    The model generates a field \c <name>:alpha1 which can be visualised to
    to show the melt distribution as a fraction [0-1].
