NUMERICAL APPROACH TO STEFAN PROBLEM IN A TWO-REGION AND LIMITED SPACE

Abstract

In the paper, an effective numerical scheme for two-region and limited space Stefan roblem is presented. The main feature of this method is to search for its solution nd the temperature field simultaneously. The comparison of the obtained esults with approximate analytical solutions shows that the algorithm is feasible nd effective.
