SplitCHWRes
Split formulation Cahn-Hilliard Kernel for the chemical potential variable with a scalar (isotropic) mobility
This kernel implements the weak form for the a reverse split Cahn-Hilliard equation, where the kernel variable is a chemical potential and (mob_name
) is a scalar mobility. It is used together with SplitCHParsed
and CoupledTimeDerivative
to set up a system of two first order PDEs using a concentration order parameter and a chemical potential variable.
Off-diagonal Onsager Matrix
The terms containing the off-diagonal components of the Onsager phenomenological transport coefficients model the driving force resulting from coupled order parameters. These terms are implemented using this kernel by specifying a different coupled chemical potential variable than the kernel variable using the w
parameter.
The strong form of such a coupled system with two variables and would be
And the MOOSE implementation would be
