    Abstract A two phase model for two-dimensional solidification problems with variable densities was developed by coupling the Stefan problem with the Stokes problem and applying a mass conserving velocity condition on the phase change interface. The extended finite element method (XFEM) was used to capture the strong discontinuity of the velocity and pressure as well as the jump in heat flux at the i nterface. The melting temperature and velocity condition were imposed on the interface using a Lagrange multiplier and the penalization method, respectively. The resulting formulations were then coupled using a fixed point iteration More >
