Phase-field snow microstructure

Pika

The snow micro-structure model, Pika, was developed following the work of Kaempfer and Plapp, 2009 and is a fully-coupled 3D finite element, phase field model capable of tracking the phase transition and capturing the heat and mass transfer at the micro-structure scale in the ice matrix and pore space.
