Competing multiphasefield models for grain boundary network studies.
Tóth et al. (Physical Review B 92 (2015) 184105) reviewed competing
multiphase-field models for thermodynamic consistency and kinetic stability of planar
interfaces at equilibrium. This repository contains multiphase-field models intended
for evolution of multiphase systems with pairwise-asymmetric interfacial
properties. The example codes demonstrate equilibration of the planar binary
interface produced upon collapse of a ternary system with one phase encapsulated
within a circular domain (grain). The models are based on the excellent write-up in
Ref. 1, with specific details in further references. Numerical simulations for three
of the most popular/significant/relevant models are implemented in the subdirectories
using MMSP.
