| Phase-Field Model |
|
|
|
| The
phase-field model was developed around 1978 by J. Langer |
||
| at
CMU as a computational technique to solve Stefan problems |
||
| for a pure
material. The model combines ideas from: |
||
| The
Cahn-Allen equation |
| The
enthalpy method |
| (Conserves
energy) |
| (Includes
capillarity) |
