Bi-directional diffusion induced grain boundary motion with triple junctions

We propose a multi-order parameter phase field system and a sharp interface model to describe bidirectional diffusion induced grain boundary motion in the presence of triple junctions. Numerical approximations of the models are presented together with some computational results.
