Hi,
I wonder if there is a simple way to compute the total free energy of a system
(Phase-field modeling) in FiPy?
That is e.g.:
\begin{equation}
F = \int_V f(\phi, c, T) + \frac{\epsilon_{\phi}^2}{2}\nabla \phi^2 dV
\end{equation}
I figured that it would be something in accordance with:
def freeEnergyVolume(phi_, c_, T, epsSq):
return (0.5 * epsSq * (phi_.grad.mag)**2 + f(phi_,c_,T)).cellVolumeAverage
But cellVolumeAverage wouldn't give me the full energy of the domain if I'm not
mistaken?
Thank you and best regards,
Anders
