A Technique with a Correction Term for Unsteady State Heat Transfer Problem with Moving Boundary

The paper proposes a general formulation for simulating unsteady state heat transfer problem with moving boundaries. The method is equipped with a correction term based on the finite element method. In dealing with the unsteady behavior, forward time marching is performed using the finite difference method. We introduce a correction term to effectively deal with the moving boundary effects, which directly uses the nodal temperature at the previous step in the time marching process. A mathematical study has been conducted to examine the theoretical basis. Finally, intensive numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate effectiveness and stability of the proposed procedure.
