mat-phase-field-non-conservative

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you model how non-conservative phase domains evolve in time, capturing curvature-driven grain shrinkage and solid–liquid transformations using the Allen-Cahn equation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Allen-Cahn non-conservative phase-field modeling: Evolves a non-conserved order parameter to reduce interfacial energy and drive curvature-driven boundary motion.
• Curvature-driven grain shrinkage demo: Runs a 2D circular grain in a liquid matrix and visualizes the expected shrinking behavior.
• Dendrite growth simulation (Kobayashi-style): Produces dendritic morphologies with anisotropy and coupled thermal effects via a phase-field plus temperature evolution.

Quick Start

Run the grain shrinkage simulation by executing the provided script for the Allen-Cahn curvature-driven benchmark with your chosen grid size, radius, time steps, and output filename.
