Phase change of water

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, I made a one-dimensional model that simulates the phase change of water(ice to water).
The length of rod : 10 cm
The initial temperature:-10 degC,
The end point temperature: 10 degC
It means a ice-to-water phase change.
For this, I referred to below link:
www.comsol.com/model/phase-change-474
Attached is the file I made.

But now I would like to make a "water-to-ice" phase change model using phase change material module.
The length of rod : 10 cm
The initial temperature:10 degC,
The end point temperature: -10 degC

Then, how should I change the material properties of water and ice?
In this case, do you think the result would be mirror image based on the 0 degC compared to the result of first model?
Here, the result means the temperature at Top.
