Abstract

We study the simulation and the control of a Stefan problem with heat source along the free boundary. Such a problem can be associated with the continuous casting process taking the convection in the liquid into account. The initial problem is transformed into a variational inequality (V.I) in which the free boundary appears explicitly in the second member. We prove the existence of a solution of this V.I and we study some associated optimal control problems. Numerical methods are presented.
