Concepts of modeling surface energy anisotropy in phase-field approaches

Abstract To simulate the growth of geological veins, it is necessary to model the crystal shape anisotropy. Two different models, classical and natural models, which incorporate the surface energy anisotropy into the objective functional of Ginzburg–Landau type, are presented here. Phase-field evolu...
