Abstract: The paper considers the effect of isotropic and anisotropic scattering of radiation on the melting (solidification) of a flat layer of a semitransparent medium between opaque surfaces. The mathematical model of the phase transition is the classical formulation of the Stefan problem. From results of numerical calculations it follows that radiation scattering has a significant effect on the rate of propagation of the phase transition front and formation of a temperature profile during melting (solidification) of a semitransparent medium.
