Benjamin West A Room
The subject of this minisymposium is generation and evolution of patterns during phase transitions in reactive-diffusive and/or elastic media with emphasis on surface tension related phenomena, and on the detailed geometry of interfaces, for realistic models.
The evolution of the microstructure (morphology, size, spatial distribution of phases) during a phase transition determines the structure and physical properties of the resulting material. It is, therefore, of paramount importance for prediction, control, and design of materials with desired properties.
Research efforts have concentrated mostly on statics and numerics. A better understanding of dynamics will advance significantly our theoretical understanding of stable dynamic microstructures and will enhance both modeling and numerical simulation of materials processing.
Organizers: Nicholas D. Alikakos, University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and Peter W. Bates, Brigham Young University
