MePhy Day: Phase-field models of sharp interfaces in fluids and solids

Phase-field model is an efficient way to represent sharp interfaces with smooth-fields. Nowadays they are widely used in solid and fluid mechanics and macroscopic physics to model fracture, phase-transformations, fluid/solid interaction, multiphase flows, etc.

These diffuse interface models raise a number of questions from the theoretical, experimental and numerical point of view, including the interpretation of the regularization length-scale, their efficient and robust numerical implementation, the understanding of their sharp interface limit, the experimental validation of the models and the identification of its parameters, the nucleation of new interfaces and the propagation of existing ones.

The goal of this MePhy workshop is to gather existing and foster new collaborations in the interdisciplinary community of scientists working on the topic from applied mathematics, physics and mechanics, to discuss the recent advances and open questions in the field.

GDR MePhy thanks the ERC TRansfers at tiny scales in tUrbulent multiphase FLOW (TRUFLOW) for its contribution to funding the workshop.
