We provide perturbative estimates for the one-phase Stefan free boundary problem and obtain regularity of flat boundaries via a linearization technique in spirit elliptic counterpart established De Silva (IFB 13, 223–238, 2011).

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.

We study a novel two–sided Stefan problem – motivated by the study of certain 2D interfaces – in which boundaries at both sides of the sample encroach into the bulk with rate equal to the boundary value of the gradient. Here the density is in [0, 1] and takes the two extreme values at the two free boundaries. It is noted that the problem is borderline ill–posed: densities in excess of unity lia...

We prove that under mild regularity assumptions on the initial data the two-phase classical Stefan problem admits a (unique) solution that is analytic in space and time.

A model for species diffusion is presented, with evaporation at a moving free boundary. The resulting problem resembles a one-phase Stefan problem with superheating, but the usual Stefan condition at the moving boundary is replaced by a version which, in the classical setting, would violate conservation of energy. In the fast evaporation limit, however, the problem reduces to a classical nonlin...

The Stefan problem with small surface tension e is considered. Assuming that the classical Stefan problem (with s = 0) has a smooth free boundary T, we denote the temperature of the solution by 60 and consider an approximate solution 60 + su for the case where e ^ 0, e small. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of u , and then investigate the effect of u on the free boundary T. It i...
