The Grain Growth Level Set simulation tool is a 2D and 3D energy dissipation solver for arbitrary tesselations. The evolution is modeled as a competition of local gradient flows of each phase.

The physical phenomena of grain growth in polycrystalline materials is the targed application. Thus the influence of mena curcvature flow as well as bulk energies is considered. The GraGLes project is developed by Christian Mießen and Co-Workers at the Institute of Physical Metallurgy and Metal Physics.
