Understanding the effect of confinement on the physical properties of liquids is of interest for a variety of applications, including designing thermal energy storage systems. Here, we present an examination of melting behavior for liquid tin under confinement in cylindrical pores, using molecular dynamics simulations and the modified embedded atom method potential. This investigation focuses on the effect of density and pore diameter on melting when using fixed tin atoms to define an explicit interface between the fluid and the walls of the confining matrix.<br/>
