Abstract

The reformulation of one-phase Stefan problems, by use of a Baiocchi-type transformation, as ‘oxygen-diffusion’ problems, makes it possible to compare different solutions. The comparison extends to ‘zero-specific-heat’ cases, which are better known, in two dimensions, as Hele-Shaw problems. Known solutions of Hele-Shaw problems can be used to bound and estimate asymptotic behaviour of solutions to Stefan problems. The use of similar techniques gives rise to some exact solutions of ‘squeeze-film’ problems and some limited results concerning continuity.
