Phase field model for three-dimensional dendritic growth with fluid flow

Phase field model for three-dimensional dendritic growth with fluid flow.

We study the effect of fluid flow on three-dimensional (3D) dendrite growth using a phase-field model on an adaptive finite-element grid. In order to simulate 3D fluid flow, we use an averaging method for the flow problem coupled to the phase-field method and the semi-implicit approximated projection method (SIAPM). We describe a parallel implementation for the algorithm, using the CHARM++ FEM ...

Decoupled Energy Stable Schemes for a Phase Field Model of Three-Phase Incompressible Viscous Fluid Flow

We develop a numerical approximation for a hydrodynamic phase field model of three immiscible, incompressible viscous fluid phases. The model is derived from a generalized Onsager principle following an energetic variational formulation and is consisted of the momentum transport equation and coupled phase transport equations. It conserves the volume of each phase and warrants the total energy d...

Numerical Scrutinization of Three Dimensional Casson-Carreau Nano Fluid Flow

This study presents the computational analysis of three dimensional Casson and Carreau nanofluid flow concerning the convective conditions. To do so, the flow equations are modified to nonlinear system of ODEs after using appropriate self-similarity functions. The solution for the modified system is evaluated by numerical techniques. The results show the impacts of involving variables on flow c...

Three-dimensional, fully adaptive simulations of phase-field fluid models

We present an efficient numerical methodology for the 3D computation of incompressible multi-phase flows described by conservative phase field models. We focus here on the case of density matched fluids with different viscosity (Model H). The numerical method employs adaptive mesh refinements (AMR) in concert with an efficient semi-implicit time discretization strategy and a linear, multi-level...
