Comparing mesoscopic models for dendritic growth
英文摘要：
We present a quantitative benchmark of multiscale models for dendritic growth simulations. We focus on approaches based on phase-field, dendritic needle network, and grain envelope dynamics. As a first step, we focus on isothermal growth of an equiaxed grain in a supersaturated liquid in three dimensions. A quantitative phase-field formulation for solidification of a dilute binary alloy is used as the reference benchmark. We study the effect of numerical and modeling parameters in both needle-based and envelope-based approaches, in terms of their capacity to quantitatively reproduce phase-field reference results. In light of this benchmark, we discuss the capabilities and limitations of each approach in quantitatively and efficiently predicting transient and steady states of dendritic growth. We identify parameters that yield a good compromise between accuracy and computational efficiency in both needle-based and envelope-based models. We expect that these results will guide further developments and utilization of these models, and ultimately pave the way to a quantitative bridging of the dendrite tip scale with that of entire experiments and solidification processes.
