Abstract

A numerical scheme based on the enthalpy method is applied to one-dimensional Stefan problems. The discretization equation is derived based on the finite control volume method. To improve the convergence rate, a simple and cost-effective single-point predictor-corrector algorithm is proposed. Usefulness of the present approach is discussed by means of various solidification problems.
