In this work we present results on existence and regularity of solutions of some conduction-convection models of phase-field type for solidification of either pure or impure (alloy) materiaIs. The essential characteristic of this models is that the solid fraction has a functional relation only with the phase field. For binary alloy solidification we are able to prove the existence of solutions only when the initial solute concentration is sufficiently small (that is, for dopant materiaIs.). The governing equations of the model are the phase field equation, the heat equation and/or solute equation coupled with a modified Navier-Stokes equations whose source term simulates the mushy region as a porous medium. Existence and regularity of the corresponding solutions are obtained as follows: firstly, the problem is adequately regularized and a sequence of regularized solutions is obtained using the Leray-Schauder's fixed point theorem. Then, by using compactness arguments, one proves that this sequence has a limit point which is a solution of the original problem. The corresponding regularity is obtained using bootstraping arguments.
