By applying the Landau-type transformation, we transform a Stefan problem with nonlinear free boundary condition into a system consisting of a parabolic equation and the ordinary differential equations. Fully discrete finite element method is developed to approximate the solution of a system of a parabolic equation and the ordinary differential equations. We derive optimal orders of convergence of fully discrete approximations in $L_2,\;H^1$ and $H^2$ normed spaces.

In this paper we introduce the semidiscrete solution of a single-phase nonlinear Stefan problem We analyze the optimal convergence of the semidiscrete solution in $H^1$ and $H^2$ normed spaces and also we derive the error estimates in $L^2$ normed space.

Based on Landau-type transformation, a Stefan problem with non-linear free boundary condition is transformed into a system consisting of parabolic equation and the ordinary differential equations. Semidiscrete approximations are constructed. Optimal orders of convergence of semidiscrete approximation in $L_2$, $H^1$ and $H^2$ normed spaces are derived.

A numerical study on the Stefan problem occurred in cryosurgery is performed. Crank-Nicholson type finite difference algorithm based on the enthaly method is adapted to solve the phase change problem in this study. As it is a moving boundary problem, special emphasis is put on the estimation of the freezing front location. Two cases selected here are freezings of human tissue by disk type cryoprobe and by hemispherical one. In both cases, the heat flows are considered to be one dimensional. The calculated results using enthalpy method are compared with those using the program TRUMP and with Neumann's solution. These results agree guite well with each other. While it is pretty difficult to get accurate freezing front location by TRUMP due to the so- called "phase change knee" occured during the phase change, the algorithm based on the enthalpy method is proved to be very powerful to cope with this kind of problem.f problem.

본 논문은 확장된 이동최소제곱 유한차분법을 이용하여 1차원 Stefan 문제를 해석할 수 있는 수치기법이 제시한다. 이동하는 경계의 자유로운 묘사를 위해 요소망이나 그리드 없이 절점만을 사용하는 이동최소제곱 유한차분법을 사용하였으며, 계면경계의 특이성을 모형화하기 위해 Taylor 다항식에 쐐기함수를 도입했다. 지배방정식은 안정성이 높은 음해법(implicit method)을 이용하여 차분하였다. 미분의 특이성을 갖는 이동경계를 포함한 반무한 융해문제의 수치해석을 통해 확장된 이동최소제곱 유한차분법이 높은 정확성과 효율성을 갖는 것을 보였다.

This study investigates the problem of phase change from liquid to solid in the inviscid stagnation flow. The solution of dimensionless governing equations is determined by the three dimensionless parameters of (temperature ratio/conductivity ratio), Stefan number, and diffusi-vity ratio. The solution at the initial stage of freezing is obtained by expanding it in powers of time, and the final equilibrium state is determined from the steady-state governing equations. The equilibrium state is dependent on (temperature ratio/conductivity ratio), but is independent of Stefan number and diffusivity ratio. The effect of fluid flow on the pure conduction problem can be clearly seen from the solution of the initial stage and the final equilibrium state, and the characteristics of the solidification process for all the dimensionless parameters are elucidated.

The explicit expressions for the 2n+1 primitive idempotents in R/sub pⁿ/ = F[x]/< x/sup pⁿ/ -1>, where F is the field of prime power order q and the multiplicative order of q modulo pⁿ is ø(pⁿ)/2(n≥1 and p is an odd prime), are obtained. An algorithm for computing the generating polynomials of the minimal QR cyclic codes of length pⁿ, generated by these primitive idempotents, is given and hence some bounds on the minimum distance of some QR codes of prime length over GF(q)(q=2, 3, ...) are obtained.

In this study, one-dimensional Stefan problem with air-gap resistance in the rectangular mold is considered and the thermal characteristics are examined by using the enthalpy-based simple implicit finite-difference scheme. The enthalpy and temperature are nondimensionalized to obtain general solutions. The temperature distribution and the locations of solidus and liquidus line are obtained and the effects of major parameters on the thermal characteristics are investigated.

The viscous plane stagnation-flow solidification problem is theoretically investigated. An analytic solution at the beginning of solidification is obtained by expanding the temperature and thickness of solidified layer in powers of time. An exact expression for the steady-state thickness of solidified layer is also obtained. The .fluid flow toward the cold substrate inhibits the solidification process. As Stefan number becomes larger, or Prandtl number becomes smaller, the solidification is more strongly inhibited by the fluid flow. The transient heat flux at the liquid side of solid-liquid interface is increased, as Stefan number or Prandtl number is increased.
