Description
Summary:The conservation element and solution element (CE SE) method, an accurate and efficient explicit numerical method for resolving moving discontinuities in fluid mechanics problems, is used for the first time to solve phase change problems. Several isothermal phase change cases are studied and comparisons are made to existing analytical solutions. The CE SE method is found to be accurate and robust for the numerical modeling of phase change problems.
