Abstract

The construction of relevant initial conditions in the phase-field models for interfacial problems is discussed. If the model is supposed to have a local equilibrium at the interface, it must be based on a local distance function. However, since for the Cartesian coordinates non-uniform boundaries occur, the initial conditions have to be corrected in order to match the actual phenomena. We discuss the volume correction method, image initialisation, non-overlapping multi component concentration, etc. The methods presented can be used in the initial guess constructions for various phase-field models.
