Phase Field Modeling
Materials Science, Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling podcast with Jake Bair
Materialism: A Materials Science Podcast, Episode 115, Hosted by Taylor Sparks
About
Taylor Sparks and Oklahoma State University researcher Jake Bair discuss the history and methods of phase-field modelling. They explain how diffuse interfaces represent material transitions and support simulations of crack growth and dendritic structures. The episode links listeners to NIST’s Phase Field Community Hub for further technical resources.
