For further details please refer to the UnivIS page of the course.

Contents
This lecture introduces the key ingredients to understand and implement the phase-field method, a simulation tool which gets increasingly important for mesoscopic structure evolution in alloys, ceramics and soft matter. The basic idea of introducing diffuse interfaces that simplify the numerical treatment is explained, and the mathematical and physical background including thermodynamics is developed. Accompanied by hands-on tutorials, where the numerical tools and methods are practiced, increasingly complex models from single phase fields to multiple phase fields are exploited. Important transport processes containing diffusion, fluid flow and mechanical deformation are coupled. This leads to the own experience of how intricate patterns are formed during solidification (dendrites), eutectic lamellae growth, precipitate growth and foam/grain coarsening (PFM1).
