Front propagation into unstable states

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an introductory review of the problem of front propagation into unstable states, which is centered around the concept of the asymptotic linear spreading velocity v ∗, the rate with which initially localized perturbations spread into an unstable state according to the linear dynamical equations obtained by linearizing the fully nonlinear equations about the unstable state.

On the Growth of Highly Ordered Pores in Anodized Aluminum Oxide

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that hexagonally ordered domain structures can be formed in anodic alumina films by repeated anodization and stripping of the porous oxide, and the domain size is a linear function of time and increases with temperature.

Regular Article: Modeling Melt Convection in Phase-Field Simulations of Solidification

TL;DR: In this article, a diffuse interface model is presented for direct numerical simulation of microstructure evolution in solidification processes involving convection in the liquid phase, where the solidification front is treated as a moving interface in the diffuse approximation.

A Simple Level Set Method for Solving Stefan Problems

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple level set method for solving the Stefan problem is presented, which can handle topology changes and complicated interfacial shapes and can numerically simulate many of the physical features of dendritic solidification.
