Spinodal Decomposition Benchmark

Application ID: 100831


Many important processes in the mesoscale can be described by phase-field models. One of the oldest phase-field problems is the spinodal decomposition. Several standardized benchmark problems have been developed by the phase-field community. In this entry, these problems are solved using the Phase Field interface. The system’s free energy versus time is studied.

Each mph-file solves the problem corrsponding to its name:

  • spinodal decomposition benchmark 1a.mph
  • spinodal decomposition benchmark 1b.mph
  • spinodal decomposition benchmark 1c.mph
