Description
The International Conferences on Computational Modelling of Free and Moving Boundary Problems exist to promote interaction between scientists and engineers involved in research activities in this area both in academia and industry. This book contains papers presented at the fifth meeting in the series held in summer 1999. The contributors consider the continuum of changing shape or problems related to the position of an interphase boundary. These problems, encountered extensively in nature as well in technology, can be analytically solved only in a few special cases. A new scientific discipline of discrete approximative solutions has therefore evolved, and the current state of the art is reflected in this volume. Although the types of phenomena differ considerably, several common computational features can be identified and similar problems can often be solved by different numerical methods. The papers featured are divided under the following headings: Solidification and Melting; Stress and Deformation; Free Surface Flow; Numerical Methods; and Multi-phase Flow.
