Detailed Description

Single spherical crystalline seed initial condition.

This file defines the SingleSeed class, which places a single spherical crystalline seed at a specified location. Useful for:

• Single crystal growth simulations
• Dendritic solidification studies
• Validation against analytical solutions

The seed's location, size, density, and amplitude are configurable.

Usage:

auto ic = std::make_unique<pfc::SingleSeed>();
ic->set_amplitude(0.2);
ic->set_density(0.5);
simulator.add_initial_condition(std::move(ic));
