Spinodal Decomposition Benchmark
Application ID: 100831
Many important processes in the mesoscale can be described by phase-field models. One of the oldest phase-field problems is the spinodal decomposition. Several standardized benchmark problems have been developed by the phase-field community. In this entry, these problems are solved using the Phase Field interface. The system’s free energy versus time is studied. Each mph-file solves the problem corrsponding to its name:
- spinodal decomposition benchmark 1a.mph
- spinodal decomposition benchmark 1b.mph
- spinodal decomposition benchmark 1c.mph

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® et
- soit le Module CFD, Module Corrosion, Module Electrodeposition, Module Microfluidics, ou Module Polymer Flow
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
