In this paper, we describe an approach for solving partial differential equations with general
boundary conditions imposed on arbitrarily shaped boundaries. A continuous function, the …

After a brief overview of the 'moving contact-line problem'as it emerged and evolved as a
research topic, a 'litmus test'allowing one to assess adequacy of the mathematical models …

The phase-field method has already proven its usefulness to simulate microstructural
evolution for several applications, eg, during solidification, solid-state phase transformations …

Apparent steady contact angles inherent for reactive wetting of flat, rough and chemically
heterogeneous solid surfaces are calculated from the variational analysis of the reactive …

Phase-field modeling is used to simulate the formation of sigma phase in a model alloy
mimicking a commercial super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) alloy, in order to study …

When an Al-droplet is in contact with an Au-solid substrate, the liquid phase reacts with the
substrate and an intermetallic layer is formed at the solid-liquid interface due to diffusion and …

We study, using molecular-dynamics (MD) simulation, the spreading kinetics and
equilibrium shape of liquid Pb droplets on an Al (111) substrate. The Al-Pb solid-liquid …

A diffuse-interface model of reactive wetting with intermetallic formation is developed that
incorporates fluid flow, phase change and solute diffusion. The model is based on the total …

Interface evolution of a droplet on a dissolvable substrate is controlled by coupling of wetting
and dissolution, which makes dissolutive wetting more complicated than wetting on inert …

Numerical simulation of liquid-phase sintering using a multicomponent and multiphase
model is presented. The model consists of convective concentration and phase-field …
