Second-Order Phase Field Asymptotics for Unequal Conductivities

چکیده

We extend Karma and Rappel’s improved asymptotic analysis of the phase field model to different diffusivities in solid and liquid. We consider both second-order “classical” asymptotics, in which the interface thickness is taken much smaller than the capillary length, and the new “isothermal” asymptotics, in which the two lengths are considered comparable. In the first case, if the phase field model is required to be gradient flow for an entropy functional, then for unequal diffusivities it is impossible to construct a phase equation with finite kinetics which converges with second-order accuracy to a Gibbs–Thomson equilibrium condition with infinitely fast kinetics. In the second case, some error terms are pushed to higher orders, and it is easy to eliminate the remaining errors with finite phase kinetics.

Thin interface asymptotics for an energy/entropy approach to phase-field models with unequal conductivities

Karma and Rappel [Phys. Rev. E 57 (1998) 4342] recently developed a new sharp interface asymptotic analysis of the phase-field equations that is especially appropriate for modeling dendritic growth at low undercoolings. Their approach relieves a stringent restriction on the interface thickness that applies in the conventional asymptotic analysis, and has the added advantage that interfacial kin...

2 Second - Order Phase Field Asymptotics

We extend Karma and Rappel's improved asymptotic analysis of the phase eld model to diierent diiusivities in solid and liquid. We consider both second-order \classical" asymp-totics, in which the interface thickness is taken much smaller than the capillary length, and the new \isothermal" asymptotics, in which the two lengths are considered comparable. In the rst case, if the phase eld model is...

Rapidly Converging Phase Field Models via Second Order Asymptotics

We consider phase field models with the objective of approximating sharp interface models. By using second order asymptotics in the interface thickness parameter, ε, we develop models in which the order ε term is eliminated, suggesting more rapid convergence to the ε = 0 (sharp interface) limit. In addition we use non-smooth potentials with a non-zero gradient at the roots. These changes result...

Second order phase field asymptotics for multi-component systems

We derive a phase field model which approximates a sharp interface model for solidification of a multicomponent alloy to second order in the interfacial thickness ε. Since in numerical computations for phase field models the spatial grid size has to be smaller than ε the new approach allows for considerably more accurate phase field computations than have been possible so far. In the classical ...

Second-order asymptotics in channel coding

BASED on the channel coding theorem, there exists a sequence of codes for the given channel W such that the average error probability goes to 0 when the transmission rate R is less than CW . That is, if the number n of applications of the channel W is sufficiently large, the average error probability of a good code goes to 0. In order to evaluate the average error probability with finite n, we ...
