A nonlocal one-phase Stefan problem that develops mushy regions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a nonlocal version of the one-phase Stefan problem which develops mushy regions, even if they were not present initially, a model which can be of interest at the mesoscopic scale. The equation involves a convolution with a compactly supported kernel. The created mushy regions have the size of the support of this kernel. If the kernel is suitably rescaled, such regions disappear and the solution converges to the solution of the usual local version of the one-phase Stefan problem. We prove that the model is well posed, and give several qualitative properties. In particular, the longtime behavior is identified by means of a nonlocal mesa solving an obstacle problem.

متن کاملViscosity Solutions for the two-phase Stefan Problem
We introduce a notion of viscosity solutions for the two-phase Stefan problem, which incorporates possible existence of a mushy region generated by the initial data. We show that a comparison principle holds between viscosity solutions, and investigate the coincidence of the viscosity solutions and the weak solutions defined via integration by parts. In particular, in the absence of initial mus...
متن کاملNewton-Product integration for a Two-phase Stefan problem with Kinetics
We reduce the two phase Stefan problem with kinetic to a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of second kind and apply Newton's method to linearize it. We found product integration solution of the linear form. Sufficient conditions for convergence of the numerical method are given and their applicability is illustrated with an example.
متن کاملA study of a Stefan problem governed with space–time fractional derivatives
This paper presents a fractional mathematical model of a one-dimensional phase-change problem (Stefan problem) with a variable latent-heat (a power function of position). This model includes space–time fractional derivatives in the Caputo sense and time-dependent surface-heat flux. An approximate solution of this model is obtained by using the optimal homotopy asymptotic method to find the solu...

In this present study, volume of fluid method in OpenFOAM open source CFD package will be extended to consider phase change phenomena with modified model due to condensation and boiling processes. This model is suitable for the case in which both unsaturated phase and saturated phase are present and for beginning boiling and condensation process needn't initial interface. Both phases (liquid-va...
