how to turn off the Gibbs-Thomson effect

[Ls_Thu]

Dear Bernd，

Thank you so much for your kind help !

We have tried it one more time but the results still seems un-normal. I have sent the in.file to you. Please check it~

Thank you again for your kind help ! We appreciate you so much~

Dear Sai-Li,

I tried to run the .in-file you sent me, using the same Version 6.3 as you did. The result looks like that:

For my understanding, symmetry is ok, not like in your image. That is strange, what do you do differently?

Dear Bernd，

Thank you so much for your kind help !

Our results are similar to you ! Maybe the interface missing at the initial stage is not an important matter. But may I ask why the migration rate of the alpha/gamma interface (middle part) is so slow ? it seems not consistent with the experimental results. Do we need to increase the interface energy ?

Thank you so much for your kind help and hard work ! We appreciate it so much !

Regards,

Hi Sai Li,

I do not know how fast it should be. The transformation is limited by carbon diffusion, and I cannot imagine that interface energies have a big influence on the middle part.
What I can imagine, however, is that assuming para-equilibrium instead of nple would speed up the transformation because the driving force is higher.
