TLDR
In this paper, four Galerkin finite-element methods are tested for solving the free-boundary problem that describes steady solidification, and they differ in the solution method used to account for the unknown shape of the melt/solid interface, in the interphase condition (either balance of heat flux or equilibrium of temperature) distinguished for locating the interface, and in the technique used for solving systems of algebraic equations that result from the finite element approximation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Petrov-Galerkin/finite element method is used to analyze the effect of furnace configuration and ampoule design on the temperature field, the convection in the melt, the shape of the melt-solid interface, and the segregation of solute in the crystal, in the directional solidification of several dilute and nondilute binary semiconductor alloys.
