A One-Phase Fractional Spatial Stefan Problem with Convective Specification at the Fixed Boundary
We address a fractional spatial Stefan problem derived from a non-Fourier heat flux model with a convective boundary condition at the fixed boundary. An explicit solution is obtained in terms of a three-parameter Mittag–Leffler function. A dimensionless formulation is used to derive a family of fractional spatial Stefan problems that depend on the Biot and Stefan numbers. Finally, a straightforward numerical method for approximating the solutions is presented, along with numerical experiments analyzing the influence of the physical parameters and the order of fractional differentiation.
