Convection effect on dendritic growth using phase-field method
نویسنده
چکیده
Phase-field model was employed to quantitatively study the effect of convection on pattern selection and growth rate of 2D and 3D dendrite tip, as well as the effect of the different convection velocity on the dendritic growth. The calculated results show that crystal is asymmetric in the priority direction of growth under flow. The dentritic growth is promoted in the upstream region and suppressed in the downstream region. Convection can cause deviation in the dendrite growth direction and the preferred direction of the columnar crystals. It has been found that both primary dendrite stem and secondary dendrite arm deflect significantly towards upstream direction, secondary dendrite arm in upstream direction is more developed than the primary dendrite in downstream direction.

Convection Effects in Three-dimensional Dendritic Growth
A phase-field model is developed to simulate free dendritic growth coupled with fluid flow for a pure material in three dimensions. The preliminary results presented here illustrate the strong influence of convection on the three-dimensional (3D) dendrite growth morphology. The detailed knowledge of the flow and temperature fields in the melt around the dendrite from the simulations allows for ...

Three-dimensional free dendritic growth of a pure material into an undercooled melt in the presence of fluid flow is investigated numerically using the phase-field method. Such computations are made possible by solving the Navier–Stokes equations for the flow and the energy equation for the heat transport on a grid that is twice as coarse as the grid for the phase-field equation. The effect of ...

Convective effects on free dendritic crystal growth into a supercooled melt in two dimensions are investigated using the phase-field method. The phase-field model incorporates both melt convection and thermal noise. A multigrid method is used to solve the conservation equations for flow. To fully resolve the diffuse interface region and the interactions of dendritic growth with flow, both the p...
