Title: Multi-phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution in metallic foams
Abstract: This paper represents a model for microstructure formation in metallic foams based on the multi-phase-field (MPF) approach. By the use of a no-coalescence boundary condition within this MPF-framework, it is possible to completely prevent coalescence of bubbles and thus focus on the formation of a closed porous microstructure. A modification of this non-wetting criterion allows for the controlled initiation of coalescence and the evolution of open structures. The method is validated and used to simulate foam structure formation both in two and three dimensions.
