Moving Boundary Muftiphase System

With two regions in a single cell you can simulate how diffusion causes phase transformations. For example, you can simulate how an individual particle grows or dissolves as a function of time. The result is a simulation of how the boundary between the regions migrate over time. As in the case of a one-phase simulation, you can set up the system under various conditions by defining profiles for how temperature changes over time.

This type of simulation is available for both Graphical and Console Mode.

In Console Mode you can also set up the system to see how the boundary conditions of the region change over time.

Normally, simulations are performed under the assumption that thermodynamic equilibrium holds locally at all phase interfaces.

In Console Mode it is also possible to simulate a moving phase boundary problem while assuming that para-equilibrium conditions apply at the phase boundary.
