Abstract This chapter surveys recent numerical advances in the phase field method for geometric surface evolution and related geometric nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Instead of describing technical details of various numerical methods and their analyses, the chapter presents a holistic overview about the main ideas of phase field modelling, its mathematical foundation, and relationships between the phase field formalism and other mathematical formalisms for geometric moving interface problems, as well as the current state of the art of numerical approximations of various phase field models with an emphasis on discussing the main ideas of numerical analysis techniques. The chapter also reviews recent development on adaptive grid methods and various applications of the phase field modelling and their numerical methods in materials science, fluid mechanics, biology and image science.
