Introduction

Use OpenFOAM to analyze the heating of water above sauna's oven. The problem is during the winter when the water freezes.

Other possibilities would be to create a simple Laplacian solver. but I'd like to include Navier-Stokes equations and perhaps energy equation: ice melts into water, water freezes, latent heat is released and the interfaces move.
