A Fixed-Grid Front-Tracking Algorithm for Solidification Problems. Part II - Directional Solidification with Melt Convection
A numerical study of directional solidification has been performed using a fixed-grid front-tracking algorithm. The directional solidification of pure tin, as well as the horizontal Bridgman growth of pure succinonitrile, were investigated. In both cases, the growth front was stable and non-dendritic, but was significantly distorted by the influence of convection in the melt and, for the Bridgm...
متن کاملSolutal convection and morphological instability in directional solidification of binary alloys
2014 We study the effect of the coupling between front deformation and solutal convection on the position of the bifurcation from the planar quiescent state of a dilute binary alloy submitted to directional solidification. We set up a perturbation treatment of the coupling between the « bare » (Mullins-Sekerka and solutal convective) bifurcations. We show that the shift of the Mullins-Sekerka b...
متن کاملCellular instabilities in directional solidification
2014 We have studied the morphology of the solid-liquid interface during the directional solidification of thin (5-150 03BCm) samples of a dilute binary mixture (CBr4/~ 0.1 % Br2) . Above a critical pulling speed, for a given temperature gradient and solute concentration, the interface, initially planar, breaks down into a periodic cellular pattern. The bifurcation from a planar to a cellular s...
متن کاملOnset of sidebranching in directional solidification.
We use a computationally efficient phase-field formulation [B. Echebarria, Phys. Rev. E 70, 061604 (2004)] to investigate the origin and dynamics of sidebranching in directional solidification for realistic parameters of a dilute alloy previously studied experimentally [M. Gorgelin and A. Pocheau, Phys. Rev. E 57, 3189 (1998)]. Sidebranching is found to result either from noise amplification or...
متن کاملModeling of Dendritic Growth in Alloy Solidification with Melt Convection
In typical solidification processes the flow of molten metal is usually regarded as an unavoidable phenomenon potentially affecting the morphology of dendritic growth. Fundamental understanding of such flow is thus important for predicting and controlling solidification microstructures. This paper presents numerical simulations on the evolution of dendritic microstructures with melt convection....
