AB - A novel algorithm for solving the classic Stefan problem is proposed in the  paper. Instead of front tracking, we preset the moving interface locations  and use these location coordinates as the grid points to find out the arrival  time of moving interface respectively. Through this approach, the difficulty  in mesh generation can be avoided completely. The simulation shows the  numerical result is well coincident with the exact solution, implying the new  approach performs well in solving this problem.
