ABOUT THE COURSE: This course is a tutorial introduction to phase field modelling. Phase field models are used to model microstructure evolution in a wide variety of systems; for example, they can be used to study microstructural evolution during solidification, solid-solid phase transformations and plastic deformation. In this course, we will primarily concentrate on modelling solid-solid transformations using phase field models. Specifically, we will discuss the materials science, mathematical and computational aspects of phase field modelling. The computations will be carried out using GNU Octave, a freeware for scientific computations. INTENDED AUDIENCE: M Sc (materials science), BE/B.Tech (final year), ME / M.Tech (metallurgy), PhD PREREQUISITES:Mathematical methods and materials thermodynamics; structure of materials, phase transformations, diffusion and computer programming are preferred. INDUSTRY SUPPORT: GE, Tata Steel, TRDDC, National labs (BARC, DMRL, ...)
