Phase-field method was originally developed to simulate microstructure evolutions in materials, e.g., dendritic solidification in alloys. Recently, the phase-field method has been widely used to simulate the crack propagations, the stress evolutions, the fluid flows and the electrochemical reactions. This mini-symposium focuses on the recent progress in the phase-field modeling and simulations in the various fields. We welcome abstracts of various studies not only on the phase-field method, but also the related different approaches such as level set, cellular automaton and Monte-Carlo methods.
