Abstract
A general optimization algorithm is studied for the accurate identification of solidification front location from noisy temperature measurements within the solid phase in a phase-change process. The method allows the determination of the heat flux entering the solid at the front. Numerical results are first compared with an exact solution. Then the method is implemented with experimental data obtained during the solidification of paraffin.
