Abstract

We study the growth of single dendrites from a small initial seed in an undercooled melt in the presence of a forced flow. Three-dimensional models are constructed, in which the solidification is computed using an adaptive finite element mesh and a phase-field method. We compare our calculations with available theories and experiments, and conclude that there are significant open questions remaining about the evolution of microstructure when flow is present.
