A Schur complement formulation that utilizes a linear iterative solver is derived to solve a free-boundary, Stefan problem describing steady-state solidification via the Isotherm–Newton approach, which employs Newton’s method to simultaneously and efficiently solve for both interface and field equations. This formulation is tested alongside more traditional solution strategies that employ direc...

it seems using the maxwell-stefan (m-s) diffusion model in combination with the vacancy solutiontheory (vst) and the single-component adsorption data provides a superior, qualitative, andquantitative prediction of diffusion in zeolites. in the m-s formulation, thermodynamic factor (г) isan essential parameter which must be estimated by an adsorption isotherm. researchers usually utilizethe simp...

must be profitable. But how profitable and how successful spam campaigns are has not been quantitatively measured. One reason that this has yet to have been studied is that designing a methodology for the inquiry into the strategies and success of spammers has presented a number of knotty problems for researchers. But in a bold move, CNS faculty researchers Geoffrey Voelker and Stefan Savage (p...

We introduce and discuss the Homotopy perturbation method, the Adomian decomposition method and the variational iteration method for solving the stefan problem with kinetics. Then, we give an example of the stefan problem with  kinetics and solve it by these methods.

Abstract We investigate structure-preserving finite element discretizations of the steady-state Stefan–Maxwell diffusion problem, which governs mass transport within a phase consisting multiple species. An approach inspired by augmented Lagrangian methods allows us to construct symmetric positive definite Onsager matrix, in turn leads an effective numerical algorithm. prove inf-sup conditions f...

A new kinetic model for binary mixtures and its Lattice Boltzman (LB) discretization is presented. In the hydrodynamic limit the model recovers the Navier-Stokes and the Stefan-Maxwell binary diffusion equations. The thermodynamic consistency is ensured by the defined non-negative entropy production within the domain of applicability of the model. The present formulation is able to simulate mix...

This paper reformulates the two–phase solidification problem (i.e., the Stefan problem) as an inverse problem in which a cost functional is minimized with respect to the position of the interface and subject to PDE constraints. An advantage of this formulation is that it allows for a thermodynamically consistent treatment of the interface conditions in the presence of a contact point involving ...

In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...

This paper presents an extended multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model for the simulation of electrolytes. It is derived by means of a finite discrete velocity model and its discretization. The model recovers momentum and mass transport according to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and Maxwell-Stefan formulation, respectively. It includes external driving forces (e.g., electric field) ...
