TY - JOUR TI - Solution of one-dimensional moving boundary problem with periodic boundary conditions by variational iteration method AU - Rai Rajeev Kabindra Nath AU - Das Subir JN - Thermal Science PY - 2009 VL - 13 IS - 2 SP - 199 EP - 204 PT - Article AB - In this paper, the solution of the one dimensional moving boundary problem with periodic boundary conditions is obtained with the help of variational iterational method. By using initial and boundary values, the explicit solutions of the equations have been derived, which accelerate the rapid convergence of the series solution. The method performs extremely well in terms of efficiency and simplicity. The temperature distribution and the position of moving boundary are evaluated and numerical results are presented graphically.
