Singular Perturbation Solution for a Two-Phase Stefan Problem in Outward Solidification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Mathematical modeling of phase change process in porous media can help ensure the efficient design and operation of thermal energy storage and pipe freezing. Numerical methods generally require high computational power to be applicable in practice. Therefore, it is of great interest to develop accurate and reliable analytical frameworks. This study proposes a singular perturbation solution for a two-phase Stefan problem that describes outward solidification in a finite annular space. The problem solves cylindrical heat conduction equations for both solid and liquid phases, with consideration of a moving boundary condition. Perturbation method takes the advantages of small Stefan number as the perturbation parameter, which intrinsically occurs in porous media. Furthermore, a boundary-fixing technique is used to remove nonlinearity in the moving boundary condition. Two different time scales are separately expanded and evaluated to facilitate the construction of a composite asymptotic solution. The analytical solution is verified against a general numerical model using enthalpy method and local volume-averaged thermal properties. The results indicate that the temperature profile of both phases can be well modeled by singular perturbation theory. The analytical solution is found to have similar conclusions to the numerical analysis with much lesser computational cost.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
