Our paper, titled “A Locally Discontinuous ALE Finite Element Formulation for Compressible Phase Change Problems” has been accepted for publication in Journal of Computational Physics (JCP). In this paper we develop a finite element based method that addresses typical challenges encountered in phase change problems. These include strong discontinuities in select field variables at the interface, high-speed flows in at least one phase and the significant role of compressibility. This method is applied to a series of phase change problems involving an energetic material, where we verify its implementation and demonstrate its utility. More extensions and applications of this method are in the works!
