Development of a Gibbs Energy Minimiser for the MOOSE-based Corrosion Modelling App Yellowjacket and Validation of MSTDB

Abstract

for discussions regarding role of thermochemical equilibrium calculations in phase field simulations and for their contribution in deciding the information to be exchanged between the two modules of Yellowjacket. Acknowledgements are also due to Dr. Daniel Schwen of Idaho National Laboratory for constant support with MOOSE related issues and for guidance regarding code development. We are also grateful to Drs. Benjamin Spencer and Ted Besmann for their supervision and stimulating discussions regarding the scope of the work.
