Competition between Surface Energy and Elastic Anisotropies in the Growth of Coherent Solid State Dendrites
Michael Greenwood, Jeffrey J. Hoyt, Nikolas Provatas
A new phase field model of microstructural evolution is presented that includes the effects of elastic strain energy. The model's thin interface behavior is investigated by mapping…

Solidification in a channel
Mohsen Sabouri-Ghomi, Nikolas Provatas, Martin Grant
We simulate solidification in a narrow channel through the use of a phase-field model with an adaptive grid. In different regimes, we find that the solid can grow in fingerlike ste…
