This paper reviews methods and applications of the phase field technique, one of the fastest
growing areas in computational materials science. The phase field method is used as a …

Dendritic growth is one of the most common microstructures in metal and solution
solidification. The subject of dendritic growth has received much attention from both scientific …

In this article, we present a modelling approach for rapid dynamic wetting based on the
phase field theory. We show that in order to model this accurately, it is important to allow for …

In the present paper we present a phenomenological description of droplet dynamics in a
bifurcating channel that is based on three-dimensional numerical experiments using the …

The impact of a solid sphere on a liquid surface has challenged researchers for centuries
and remains of interest today. Recently, Duez et al [Nat. Phys. 3, 180 (2007)] published …

Liquid wetting of a surface is omnipresent in nature and the advance of micro-fabrication
and assembly techniques in recent years offers increasing ability to control this …

The movement of the triple contact line plays a crucial role in many applications such as ink-
jet printing, liquid coating and drainage (imbibition) in porous media. To design accurate …

The Phase Field Microelasticity model proposed by Khachaturyan is used to perform 3D
simulation of Martensitic Transformation in polycrystalline materials using finite element …

An existing phase-fieldmodel of two immiscible fluids with a single soluble surfactant present
is discussed in detail. We analyze the well-posedness of the model and provide strong …

SUMMARY A study of spurious currents in continuous finite element based simulations of
the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for two‐phase flows is presented on the basis …
