Numerical Approach to Multi Dimensional Phase Transitions

Abstract

We present an algorithm to analyze numerically the bounce solution of first-order phase transitions. Our approach is well suited to treat phase transitions with several fields. The algorithm consists of two parts. In the first part the bounce solution without damping is determined, in which case energy is conserved. In the second part the continuation to the physically relevant case with damping is performed. The presented approach is numerically stable and easily implemented.
