Application of the Variational Iteration Methodfor Inverse Stefan Problem with Neumann's Boundary Condition

摘要

In this paper, the possibility of application of the variational iteration method for solving the inverse Stefan problem with a Neumann boundary condition is presented. This problem consists in a calculation of temperature distribution as well as in the reconstruction of the function which describes the heat flux on the boundary, when the position of the moving interface is known. The validity of the approach is verifled by comparing the results obtained with the analytical solution.
