A phase field model is derived for free boundary problems where the effects of supercooling and surface tension are present. A scheme for obtaining numerical approximations is derived, and sample numerical results are presented. This research was supported in part by the ARO Contract No. DAAG 29-80-C-0081. Partial support was also provided under NASA Contract No. NAS1-15810 while the author was in residence at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering, Hampton, VA 23665.

The H-method for Stefan Problems The standard description of a solidification process is captured in the classical Stefan problem [1]. In this context T « T(x,t) denotes a temperature field with T* denoting the phase transition temperature. In particular, points x in the material ft are in the liquid phase when T > TA, and conversely, they are in the solid phase when T 0, T(x,t) + T*. The transition region is defined by (1.2) f(t) {x €R : T(x,t) T*}, and for points in this region (1.3) Xv + [D*grad T*vJ* 0, x £ T(t). Here X is the latent heat, v the normal velocity of F(t), \^ the normal to F(t), and [•]_ denotes the jump across F(t). To complete the specification of the problem v» specify initial conditions, e.g., (1.4) T(x,0) » TQ(x) x €ft, for a given initial temperature field TQ, and boundary conditions. For simplicity we use Dirichlet type conditions, namely (1-5) T(x,t) Tx(x), x £ 3ft, t > 0, where T^ is a given temperature field defined on the boundary 3ft of ft.
