We suppose that the fields at time step are known: temperature, position of the interface.
The algorithm is as follows:
- We calculate the velocity of the interface
using (26).
- We predict the position of the interface using (34).
- We set up the set of the shape and test functions with this position of the interface.
- We initialize the values for the LATIN.
- We calculate the values correspond to the local step of the LATIN.
- We build the mass and stiffness matrices and the right hand side from (44)
- Mass matrix:
- Stiffness matrix:
- Right Hand Side:
with
and
, where and
are the composante of and on which is the shape function of time step .
- We then solve the given system
.
- We then measure the distance between the both elements ( on and ). If this distance is inferior to the tolerance, we go to the next step, if not, we return to the (b).
- We make the time projection, that means that we solve the system:
,
where :
- Then we go to the first step.
