TY - JOUR TI - A novel algorithm for solving the classical Stefan problem AU - Wu Zhao-Chun AU - Luo Jianping AU - Feng Jingmei JN - Thermal Science PY - 2011 VL - 15 IS - 11 SP - 39 EP - 44 PT - Article 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.
