Modelling of free boundary problems for phase change with diffuse interfaces

We present a continuum thermodynamical framework for simulating multiphase Stefan problem. For alloy solidification, which is marked by a diffuse interface called the mushy zone, we present a phase filed like formalism which comprises a set of macroscopic conservation equations with an order paramet...
