## What is Phase?

Phase-Field Studio — Interactive Materials Simulation

Turn your device into a computational materials science workbench. Phase-Field Studio brings real-time phase-field simulations to iOS — explore microstructure evolution, pattern formation, and fracture mechanics with intuitive touch controls and live visualization.

WHAT IS PHASE-FIELD MODELING?

Phase-field methods replace sharp interfaces with smooth order parameters evolving under variational free-energy principles. This framework unifies a broad class of phenomena — from alloy solidification to biological tissue growth — under one computational paradigm.

SIMULATIONS INCLUDED

* Cahn-Hilliard (FFT) — Spinodal decomposition via spectral methods. A uniform mixture spontaneously separates into coexisting phases.

* Anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard — Directional phase separation where crystallographic anisotropy reshapes domains into faceted structures.

* Grain Growth (Allen-Cahn) — Polycrystalline coarsening with curvature-driven boundary migration and random Voronoi microstructures.

* Coupled Allen-Cahn / Cahn-Hilliard — Simultaneous ordering and compositional separation producing complex multiphase microstructures.

* Dendritic Growth — Anisotropic solidification with thermal diffusion controlling dendrite tip shape and side-branching.

* Sintering — Powder consolidation via surface-energy-driven diffusion with neck formation and pore shrinkage.

* Swift-Hohenberg — Spontaneous pattern formation: stripes, spots, and labyrinthine structures from a single control parameter.

* Complex Ginzburg-Landau — Spiral wave dynamics and oscillatory media near a Hopf bifurcation.

* Cell Dynamics — Collective cell migration governed by order parameters, substrate friction, and intercellular adhesion.

* Chemotaxis Cahn-Hilliard — Phase separation coupled with chemotactic signaling that biases domain morphology.

* Phase Fracture (AT1) — Variational fracture mechanics: energy minimization regularizes sharp cracks into a smooth damage field with irreversibility.

FEATURES

* Real-Time On-Device — All simulations compute locally. No server, no network.

* Interactive Parameters — Adjust constants, resolution, and initial conditions with responsive sliders.

* Live Visualization — Continuous color-mapped rendering of evolving fields.

* Educational Panels — Governing equations, physical background, and parameter guides for every simulation.

* Themes — Dark, light, and custom color themes.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Materials science students, researchers, educators, computational scientists, and anyone curious about how complex patterns emerge from simple equations. No programming required — pick a simulation, adjust the parameters, and watch the physics unfold.
