Initial traces of solutions to a one-phase Stefan problem in an infinite strip.

Daniele Andreucci, Marianne K. Korten (1993)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The main result of this paper is an integral estimate valid for non-negative solutions (with no reference to initial data) u ∈ L1loc (Rn x (0,T)) to(0.1)   ut - Δ(u - 1)+ = 0,  in D'(Rn x (0,T)),for T > 0, n ≥ 1. Equation (0.1) is a formulation of a one-phase Stefan problem: in this connection u is the enthalpy, (u - 1)+ the temperature, and u = 1 the critical temperature of change of phase. Our estimate may be written in the form(0.2)  ∫Rn u(x,t) e-|x|2 / (2 (T - t)) dx ≤ C,   0 <...

Introduction to the models of phase transitions

A. Visintin (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Le transizioni di fase si presentano in svariati processi fisici: un esempio tipico è la transizione solido-liquido. Il classico modello matematico, noto come problema di Stefan, tiene conto solo dello scambio del calore latente e della diffusione termica nelle fasi. Si tratta di un problema di frontiera libera, poiché l'evoluzione dell'interfaccia solido liquido è una delle incognite. In questo articolo si rivedono le formulazioni forte e debole di tale problema, e quindi si considerano alcune...

Lie symmetry of a class of nonlinear boundary value problems with free boundaries

Roman Cherniha, Sergii Kovalenko (2011)

Banach Center Publications

A class of (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs), modeling the process of melting and evaporation of solid materials, is studied by means of the classical Lie symmetry method. A new definition of invariance in Lie's sense for BVP is presented and applied to the class of BVPs in question.

Mathematical study of an evolution problem describing the thermomechanical process in shape memory alloys

Pierluigi Colli (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this paper we prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for a one-dimensional time-dependent problem related to a thermo-mechanical model of structural phase transitions in solids. This model assumes the free energy depending on temperature, macroscopic deformation and also on the proportions of the phases. Here we neglect regularizing terms in the momentum balance equation and in the constitutive laws for the phase proportions.

Mean curvature properties for p -Laplace phase transitions

Berardino Sciunzi, Enrico Valdinoci (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper deals with phase transitions corresponding to an energy which is the sum of a kinetic part of p -Laplacian type and a double well potential h 0 with suitable growth conditions. We prove that level sets of solutions of Δ p u = h 0 ' ( u ) possessing a certain decay property satisfy a mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. From this, we show that, if the above level sets approach uniformly a hypersurface, the latter has zero mean curvature.

Motion of spirals by crystalline curvature

Hitoshi Imai, Naoyuki Ishimura, TaKeo Ushijima (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Modern physics theories claim that the dynamics of interfaces between the two-phase is described by the evolution equations involving the curvature and various kinematic energies. We consider the motion of spiral-shaped polygonal curves by its crystalline curvature, which deserves a mathematical model of real crystals. Exploiting the comparison principle, we show the local existence and uniqueness of the solution.

Motion planning for a nonlinear Stefan problem

William B. Dunbar, Nicolas Petit, Pierre Rouchon, Philippe Martin (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider a free boundary problem for a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. In particular, we are concerned with the inverse problem, which means we know the behavior of the free boundary a priori and would like a solution, e.g. a convergent series, in order to determine what the trajectories of the system should be for steady-state to steady-state boundary control. In this paper we combine two issues: the free boundary (Stefan) problem with a quadratic nonlinearity....
