Hi Bangerth,
      Thanks for your answering. Here I have a 2D domain and the 
phase-field model is complicated, so I have simplify the equations just 
like as follow:

      For both variable \phi and u, zero-flux Neumann boundary conditions 
are imposed. Owing to the symmetic domain like the following picture, I 
want to just computation on half of the domain and the results can be 
mirrored to the other half. However, I have no idea on how to impose the 
symmetric boundary condition on the y-axis if I only use half of the whole 
domain to carry out the simulation. For example, the whole domain is a 
square whose center is located at origin, here I just computation on the 
domain satisfying x > 0 and the symmetric boundary condition should be 
imposed on the boundary satisfying x = 0.
