Abstract:
Caginalp phase-field model describes the behaviour of certains materials in their stages of melting and solidication. In this talk, we will start by motivating the use of Cattaneo's law and give a rigourous derivation of our model. We then address mathematical problems of existence and uniqueness, dissipativity and spatial behaviour in a semi-infinite cylinder. We finally give the convergence for an iterative scheme of fractional steps type associated to the phase-field transition system as an illustration regarding numerical approach.
