Professor Nils Warnken’s research currently focuses on the study and modelling of phase transformations in metallic alloys, particularly solidification-related phenomena. This includes thermodynamic modelling and other techniques, but also the modelling of mould filling and convection in castings, microstructure formation in solidification during additive manufacturing and conventional castings. 

This talk covers the background to the phase field modelling method, explained in a way that is understandable to a general audience in higher education. He gives examples of the innovative use of the method, together with the development of non-equilibrium phase field formulations.

The seminar is organised and chaired by Associate Professor  Prakash Srirangam Venkata, as a part of a series of seminars at the Warwick University Manufacturing Group.
