Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model, to represent the dynamics of two-dimensional solid-liquid phase transition, is considered. This mathematical model is formulated as a coupled system of a heat equation with a time-relaxation diffusion, and an Allen-Cahn equation such that the two-dimensional norm, of crystalline-type, is adopted as the mathematical expression of the anisotropy. Through the structural observations for steady-state solutions, some geometric conditions to guarantee their stability will be presented in the main theorem of this paper.
