Generalized Lame-Clapeyron Solution For A One-Phase Source Stefan Problem, José Luis Menaldi, Domingo Alberto Tarzia Jan 1993

Generalized Lame-Clapeyron Solution For A One-Phase Source Stefan Problem, José Luis Menaldi, Domingo Alberto Tarzia

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

In this paper we obtain a generalized Lamé-Clapeyron solution for a one-phase Stefan problem with a particular type of sources. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given in order to characterize the source term which provides a unique solution. Some estimates on the free boundary and the temperature are presented. In particular, asymptotic expansions are given for small Stefan number and source.
