The YAPFI phase-field implementation

Abstract

A fully implicit phase field model has been implemented in Fortran for 1-3D simulations. It is intended for simulations of diffusion and diffusion controlled transformations. Gibbs energy contributions from both gradients in concentration and gradients in phase field variables are included. Orientation dependent interfacial energy is also supported. The implementation supports the use of Calphad type databases as well as analytical Gibbs energy expressions, though in the latter case phases may not have internal degrees of freedom.
