Stefan problem with prescribed convection serves as a mathematical model for the heat transfer and solidification process in the metal casting (see [2, 3]).
Because in the applied problems both the temperature fields and fluxes are of practical interest, mixed and mixed hybrid finite element schemes appear as important method for its numerical solution.
We construct a mixed hybrid finite element scheme for a Stefan problem which is a case of moving boundary problem.

The term ""Stefan problem"" is generally used for heat transfer problems with phase-changes such as from the liquid to the solid.
Stefan problems have some characteristics that are typical of them, but certain problems arising in fields such as mathematical physics and engineering also exhibit characteristics similar to them.
In hyperbolic Stefan problems, the characteristic features of Stefan problems are present but unlike in Stefan problems, discontinuous solutions are allowed because of the hyperbolic nature of the heat equation.

Through a finite difference method we obtain a discrete problem and we show that the solution of this discrete problem converges to the solution of the discrete problem with temperature condition, when the heat transfer coefficient tends to infinity.
By means of the well-known relationship between the one-phase supercooled Stefan problem and that one describing the oxygen diffusion-consumption in living tissues, it is possible to analyze more deeply the solution’s behaviour in cases in which blow-up occurs.
Besides its intrinsic interest as a metaestable phenomenon, this subject is related to a variety of problems, for instance the above cited oxygen diffusion-consumption problem (1.7)-(1.11), or even that corresponding to the filtration of a liquid in a partially saturated porous medium [2].

This problem is known as a vector valued Stefan problem.
The well-posedness of the moving boundary problem is investigated using the maximum principle for the parabolic partial differential equation.
For a Stefan problem with only one component (a scalar Stefan problem), we compare this model to a model with two spatial co-ordinates using finite element calculations, where the particle and cell have different geometry.

 On the Theory of Partially Solidified Systems
It seems that, whatever the specific features of the process of generation and evolution of the partially solidified zone, the most important and interesting problem is to describe the distribution particles of both phases in space and time according to their shape and location in a (not necessarily homogeneous) temperature and concentration field.
Whereas the solution of such a kind of problem is seemingly available for methods employed in physical/engineering/ or geophysical literature it is not the case for analysis based on the weak formulation of all Stefan-like problems.
Indeed, the enthalpy formulation of the Stefan problem in itself is of great importance in that it leads to a better understanding of the physical nature of the problem.

This is an important skill, since understanding the problem and leaving out the unimportant stuff is the first step to solving it.
That was quite nice, although we have to try harder to not solve the problems in the presenting phase.
Problem 10013 was solved quite fast by Mark, problem 10234 was discussed a bit, mainly between Wes, Igor and me. At the end, we switched to problem 306 and had some different approaches.

 On Hysteresis and Free Boundary Problems
Even if the applied interest of this problem is limited, its mathematical relevance is quite large as a typical model where new theoretical and numerical methods have been developed and tested as a starting point for the analysis of more complicated problems.
Over the past two decades, the development of free boundary problems has enlarged the scope of this interdisciplinary research topic up to a point where now is almost impossible to cover all the literature.
However the number of works on free boundary problems has increased and it is then natural to discuss the question if there should exists or not a new mathematical journal devoted exclusively to this interdisciplinary topic.

 Numerical methods for Stefan problems
In [NSV:97a], a-posteriori error estimators for the Stefan problem are developed, which give upper bounds for the error in temperature in $L^2(L^2)$ and for the error in enthalpy in $L^\infty(H^{-1})$.
The continuous casting problem is a Stefan problem with given, dominant convection.
In contrast to the classical Stefan problem, the temperature at the phase boundary does not necessarily coincide with the melting temperature of the substance.

 1.6.2 Freezing of a square solid: the two-dimensional Stefan problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Heat conduction problems involving latent heat effects occur often in practice (examples are metal casting and permafrost meltout) but are not simple to solve.
The problem is the two-dimensional Stefan problem (Figure 1.6.2–1): a square block of material is initially liquid, just above the freezing temperature.
Since the actual problem involves discontinuities along surfaces moving through the mesh, the best we can do with a fixed grid of simple elements is to use a fine mesh of lowest-order elements, thus providing a high number of gradient discontinuity surfaces.

Dissolution of stoichiometric multi-component particles in ternary alloys is an important process occurring during the heat treatment of as-cast aluminium alloys prior to hot-extrusion.
In this model an equation is given to determine the position of the particle interface in time, using two diffusion equations which are coupled by nonlinear boundary conditions at the interface.
Moreover the well-posedness of the moving boundary problem is investigated using the maximum principle for the parabolic partial differential equation.

A theory of interface dynamics of free boundaries is developed for the whole class of non-equilibrium effects, which are reduced to Stefan problem.
The main attention is paid to conformal mapping in order to describe physical processes, such as crystallization, electro-deposition, formation of structures in chemical reactions, and motion of interfaces of two fluids in hydrodynamic systems with free boundaries.

Abstract: The nonlinearity in the weak formulation of the generic one-phase Stefan problem has a ''flat portion'' which renders impossible obtaining the convergence of the enthalpy interpolants needed for passing to the limit as we move from the discrete problem (discretized as a gradient flow w.r.t.
We do, however, succeed in employing Wasserstein distance techniques for proving this convergence and, ultimately, existence of weak solutions for a class of nonlinear problems among which lies the homographic approximation of the Stefan problem.
Convergence of these weak solutions to the weak solution of the Stefan problem is obtained in parallel to the uniqueness of solution of the approximate problem by an interesting adaptation of a technique due to the authors of [7].

The model can be viewed, for instance, as a generalized Stefan problem within the theory of heat conduction in materials with memory.
The relation defined by \gamma is properly interpreted and generalized in terms of a subdifferential operator associated with \gamma and acting from H^1(\Omega) to its dual space.
Finally, under some other restrictions on~\gamma, the longtime behavior of the solution is investigated, in a more specific context related to the generalized Stefan problem.
