The paper proposes a procedure for solving the inverse Stefan problem
consisted in reconstruction of the function describing the heat transfer
coefficient on the basis of temperature measurements. Elaborated method is
based on two procedures: solution of the appropriate direct Stefan problem by
using the finite difference method combined with the alternating phase
truncation method and minimization of some functional with the aid of
invasive weed optimization algorithm. For verifying the effectiveness of
investigated algorithm the experimental data obtained in the solidification
of aluminum are used.
