Abstract
:1. Introduction
- ;
- —represents the reduced temperature distribution in Q, i.e., , with representing the temperature of the material at and representing the melting temperature (the temperature at which solid and liquid may co-exist in equilibrium, separated by a planar interface—see ([1], Figure 1.1, p. 31));
- —is the phase function (the order parameter—as can be seen in ([1], Figure 1.2, p. 35)) which is used to distinguish between the states (phases) of the material which occupy the region at every time ;
- ( in short) is the partial derivative of relative to ;
- and are positive values;
- are given numbers which satisfy
