Publisher Summary

Phase-field models have been applied to phase transformation problems for decades. Many systems in nature involve multiple scales and become interesting because they exhibit different behaviors on different scales. The traditional approach for multiscale problems is to obtain, either analytically or empirically, explicit equations for the scale of interest, while eliminating other scales of the problem. The success of resulting phenomenological equations is much less spectacular ...
