The Numerical Solution of One-Dimensional Phase Change Problems Using an Adaptive Moving Mesh Method

چکیده
The numerical solution of one-dimensional phase change problems using an adaptive moving mesh method. An adaptive moving mesh method is developed for the numerical solution of an enthalpy formulation of heat conduction problems with a phase change. The algorithm is based on a very simple mesh modiication strategy that allows the smooth evolution of mesh nodes to track interfaces. At each time step the nonlinear enthalpy equation is solved using a novel semi-implicit moving mesh discretisation which is shown to possess a unique solution. Numerical examples are given for a two-phase freezing problem, a model of a spot-welding process, and a three phase problem with a varying number of interfaces. These test cases demonstrate the accuracy and eeectiveness of the overall strategy.

In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...

A moving mesh method is developed for the numerical solution of one-dimensional phase-change problems modelled by the phase-field equations. The computational mesh is obtained by equidistribution of a monitor function tailored for the functional variation of the phase field in the interfacial region. Existence and uniqueness of the discretised equations using a moving mesh are also established....

Adaptive mesh methods are valuable tools in improving the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical solution of evolutionary systems of partial differential equations. If the mesh moves to track fronts and large gradients in the solution, then larger time steps can be taken than if it were to remain stationary. We derive explicit differential equations for moving the mesh so that the time variat...
