The Diffuse Interface Approach in Materials Science : Thermodynamic Concepts and Applications of Phase-Field Models Paperback / softback
by Heike Emmerich
Part of the Lecture Notes in Physics Monographs series
Paperback / softback
Description
Many inhomogeneous systems involve domains of well-de?ned phases se- rated by a distinct interface.
If they are driven out of equilibrium one phase will grow at the cost of the other.
Examples are phase separation by sp- odal decomposition or nucleation and subsequent growth of the nucleus in the nourishing phase [139].
Another example which has often been discussed as a paradigmatic problem is that of dendritic solidi?cation [29, 64, 79, 199].
The phenomenological description of these phenomena involves the de?- tion of a precisely located interfacial surface on which boundary conditions are imposed.
One of those boundary conditions typically yields a normal - locity at which the interface is moving.
This is the so-calledsharp interface approach, adopted both in analytical and numerical studies for a variety of contexts involving a moving boundary.
The origin of such a description is - ten transparent, being obtained by symmetry arguments and common sense.
