چکیده
The Stefan problem with Gibbs-Thomson law describes solidification phenomena for pure substances. In applications the surface energy is anisotropic leading to an anisotropic Gibbs-Thomson law. We show the existence of weak solutions to the Stefan problem with anisotropic Gibbs-Thomson law using an implicit time discretization, and variational methods in an anisotropic BV setting. Our main result generalizes an existence result of Luckhaus to the anisotropic case.

متن کاملFinite element approximation of one-sided Stefan problems with anisotropic, approximately crystalline, Gibbs-Thomson law
We present a finite element approximation for the one-sided Stefan problem and the one-sided Mullins–Sekerka problem, respectively. The problems feature a fully anisotropic Gibbs–Thomson law, as well as kinetic undercooling. Our approximation, which couples a parametric approximation of the moving boundary with a finite element approximation of the bulk quantities, can be shown to satisfy a sta...

This paper considers a class of one-dimensional solidification problem in which kinetic undercooling is incorporated into the temperature condition at the interface. A model problem with nonlinear kinetic law is considered. The main result is an existence theorem. The mathematical effects of the kinetic term are discussed
متن کاملOn stable parametric finite element methods for the Stefan problem and the Mullins-Sekerka problem with applications to dendritic growth
We introduce a parametric finite element approximation for the Stefan problem with the Gibbs–Thomson law and kinetic undercooling, which mimics the underlying energy structure of the problem. The proposed method is also applicable to certain quasi-stationary variants, such as the Mullins–Sekerka problem. In addition, fully anisotropic energies are easily handled. The approximation has good mesh...
