Stability and Thermal Influences in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics

Abstract

Work continued on the thermodynamics of two-phase continua. The general two-phase Stefan problem with supercooling, superheating, and capillarity, was studied (T19) in collaboration with M. Soner (Carnegie Mellon). Simple solutions-illustrating the chief differences between this problem and the classical Stefan problem-were obtained for the spherically symmetric problem, under the assumption of fast diffusion, with the liquid supercooled at infinity.
