Supercooled Stefan problem with a Neumann type boundary condition

Adriana C. Briozzo

Abstract:
We consider a supercooled one-dimensional Stefan problem with a Neumann boundary condition and a variable thermal diffusivity. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the heat flux at the fixed face x=0, in order to obtain existence and uniqueness of a similarity type solution. Moreover we over-specified the fixed face x=0 by a Dirichlet boundary condition aiming at the simultaneous determination of one or two thermal coefficients.
