\"\"<\/p>\n

The Virtual Kinetics of Materials Laboratory<\/strong> (VKML) is a web environment to develop microstructural evolution models by using FiPy<\/strong>, a powerful set of python-based libraries to write Partial Differential Equations. A basic set of examples is provided to simulate: a) the electrochemical transport kinetics of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries; b) simple diffusion and spinodal decomposition problems; c) Symbolic Thermodynamics using the Gibbs infrastructure; and d) basic examples to learn how to write a program with a simple GUI. Each example can be readily edited, debugged, and run online. The developed interface also provides a TKInter-based GUI, which enables the user to rapidly prototype flexible interfaces with sliders, menus, and buttons.<\/p>\n

You can run and download VKML at\u00a0https:\/\/nanohub.org\/resources\/vkmllive\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
