A theoretical analysis of combined melting and vaporization using the boundary element method

<p>Melting and vaporization of solids occur very often in nature and in man-made processes. Many analytical and numerical solutions exist for solving the temperature field in the liquid and solid regions, but inaccuracies persist in tracking the phase change interfaces and the numerical soluti...
