✦ Synopsis


This paper presents a new methodology for the inverse analysis of timedependent two-phase Stefan problems. The problem considered here is that of determining the time dependence of a phase-change interface at several observed temperatures. In our method, imaginary heat sources are arranged in an imaginary domain and then the phase-change interface is identified as the isothermal surface at the melting temperature by controlling the imaginary heat source intensities. Using delta-function imaginary heat sources and their corresponding Green functions, which are pre-calculated numerically, it is shown that the phase-change interface is determined non-iteratively at each time step. We offer numerical examples to demonstrate the capability of the proposed method.
