| Abstract Scope |
The Allen-Cahn equation is widely used to characterize phase separation or the motion of anti-phase boundaries in materials, under the framework of phase field modeling. Its solution is known to be time-consuming when high-resolution meshes and large time scale integration are involved. To overcome this challenge, we propose a convolution tensor decomposition based model reduction method [1] for efficiently solving the Allen-Cahn equation. Numerical examples using both 2D and 3D Allen-Cahn type problems will be presented for demonstrating the performance of the method. The proposed computational framework opens numerous opportunities for simulating the complex microstructure formation in metal additive manufacturing at a deeply reduced computational cost.
