Goal-Oriented Error Estimation for Cahn–Hilliard Models of Binary Phase Transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A posteriori estimates of errors in quantities of interest are developed for the nonlinear system of evolution equations embodied in the Cahn–Hilliard model of binary phase transition. These involve the analysis of wellposedness of dual backward-in-time problems and the calculation of residuals. Mixed finite element approximations are developed and used to deliver numerical solutions of representative problems in oneand two-dimensional domains. Estimated errors are shown to be quite accurate in these numerical examples. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 27: 160–196, 2011

Cahn-hilliard Equations and Phase Transition Dynamics for Binary Systems
The process of phase separation of binary systems is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main objective of this article is to give a classification on the dynamic phase transitions for binary systems using either the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation or the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with entropy, leading to some interesting physical predictions. The analysis is based on dynamic tra...
متن کاملSome Asymptotic Results For Phase Transition Models
This thesis analyzes two types of phase transition models, namely the Cahn–Hilliard model and the Becker–Döring model. In the Cahn–Hilliard setting, this thesis establishes a second-order Γ-convergence result for the mass-constrained Cahn–Hilliard energy. This is obtained using a new variant of the Pòlya–Szegő inequality, along with some new regularity results for the isoperimetric function. Fo...
متن کاملThe Dynamics and Coarsening of Interfaces for the ViscousCahn - Hilliard Equation in One Spatial
In one spatial dimension, the metastable dynamics and coarsening process of an n-layer pattern of internal layers is studied for the Cahn-Hilliard equation, the viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation, and the constrained Allen-Cahn equation. These models from the continuum theory of phase transitions provide a caricature of the physical process of the phase separation of a binary alloy. A homotopy para...
متن کاملError estimates for time discretizations of Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn phase-field models for two-phase incompressible flows
We carry out rigorous error analysis for some energy stable time discretization schemes developed in [20] for a Cahn-Hilliard phase-field model and in [19] for an Allen-Cahn phase-field model.
متن کاملPriority Programme 1962 A Goal-Oriented Dual-Weighted Adaptive Finite Element Approach for the Optimal Control of a Nonsmooth Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes System
This paper is concerned with the development and implementation of an adaptive solution algorithm for the optimal control of a time-discrete Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system with variable densities. The free energy density associated to the Cahn-Hilliard system incorporates the double-obstacle potential which yields an optimal control problem for a family of coupled systems in each time insta...
