Dynamics of Liquid Solidification

Zygmunt Lipnicki is Profesor of the Institute of Environmental Engineering at Zielona Góra University in Poland. He received his doctoral degree in 1985 at Poznań Technical University, and he received his habilitation degree from Poznań Technical University in 2000. Dr. Lipnicki’s teaching focuses primarily on fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer. His current research programs include analytical and experimental studies of thermal resistance of contact layer in solidification process.
