Abstract
The present chapter mainly focuses on the definition of phase change
problems and is the entrance for both free and moving boundary problems and their
practical applications. In this chapter, we will start from the fundamentals,
definitions, and formulations; an overview of the phase change problem in both one,
two, and three dimensions is developed with physical and mathematical
formulations.
Keywords: Free boundary problem, Heat transfer, Moving boundary problem, Mushy zones.
