Special Session 47: Mathematical modelling and numerical methods for phase-field problems
Contents
The problem of lattice parameter and velocity selection of a periodic crystal pattern invading a homogeneous liquid phase is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the lattice selection at the front of crystal pattern and in a bulk crystal phase. Analytical and numerical solutions of the phase-field-crystal model are discussed for a periodic pattern which emerges as a phase front sweeps through an unstable liquid.
