Abstract: Numerical schemes for free boundary problems are categorized into two groups: level-set approaches and iterative approaches. In this paper we present a combined approach for computing numerical solutions of a free boundary problem. At first, a rough numerical solution is obtained by a level-set method. Then, using the solution as an initial guess, we use an iterative scheme to obtain more precise solution. To design an iterative scheme, we calculate first variations with respect to boundary perturbation of quantities related to the free boundary problem. Such a variation with respect to domain perturbation is called Hadamard's variation. Since our iterative scheme is designed with Hadamard's variations, it is fast and stable. If the iteration starts with good initial guess obtained by a level-set method, iteration converges almost immediately. Numerical examples show the effectiveness and usefulness of our approach.
