Abstract
A phase-field model on an adaptive finite-element grid was used to study the effect of fluid flow on three-dimensional (3D) dendrite growth. An averaging method for the flow problem coupled to the phase-field method and the semi-implicit approximated projection method (SIAPM) was used to simulate 3D fluid flow. A parallel implementation for the algorithm, using CHARM++ FEM framework, was descibed. An improved method for extracting dendrite tip position position and tip radius, facilitating accurate comparison to theory was introduced.
