Numerical solution of stationary Stephan problem in a domain with a free boundary

The numerical algorithm for plain problem of heat and mass transfer based on the combination of two methods is presented in this paper. In order to determine the phase boundary between a liquid and a solid, the standard approach with "smoothing" of coefficients is used. Computation of the flow in the time-dependent domain is based on the method of fictive domains. In order to find the position of the liquid free surface, a new method, which takes into account the peculiarities of the boundary conditions on the free surface, has been developed. The results of calculations of some sample problems are presented.
