Caloric measure and Reifenberg flatness.
We consider a parabolic 2D Free Boundary Problem, with jump conditions at the interface. Its planar travelling-wave solutions are orbitally stable provided the bifurcation parameter does not exceed a critical value . The latter is the limit of a decreasing sequence of bifurcation points. The paper deals with the study of the 2D bifurcated branches from the planar branch, for small k. Our technique is based on the elimination of the unknown front, turning the problem into a fully nonlinear...
The model of coupled heat transport and Darcian water flow in unsaturated soils and in conditions of freezing and thawing is analyzed. In this contribution, we present results concerning the existence of the numerical solution. Numerical scheme is based on semi-implicit discretization in time. This work illustrates its performance for a problem of freezing processes in vertical soil columns.
