Exact solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems of the Stefan type

Abstract

The (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear boundary value problem, modeling the process of melting and evaporation of metals, is studied by means of the classical Lie symmetry method. All possible Lie operators of the nonlinear heat equation, which allow us to reduce the problem to the boundary value problem for the system of ordinary differential equations, are found. The forms of heat conductivity coefficients are established when the given problem can be analytically solved in an explicit form.
