NUMERICAL STUDY OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL STEFAN PROBLEM WITH PERIODIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Abstract

A finite difference approach to a one-dimensional Stefan problem with periodic boundary conditions is studied. The evolution of the moving boundary and the temperature field are simulated numerically, and the effects of the Stefan number and the periodical boundary condition on the temperature distribution and the evolution of the moving boundary are analyzed.
