Abstract

Dendrite morphology is drastically changed due to the liquid flow, such as forced and natural convections, during the solidification of metallic alloys. We have developed a phase-field lattice Boltzmann method to simulate the dendrite growth during the alloy solidification in the presence of the liquid flow. Here, we have employed the phase-field and lattice Boltzmann methods to express the dendrite growth and liquid flow, respectively. In addition, a parallel computation using multiple graphical processing units in a supercomputer has been enabled to accelerate the phase-field lattice Boltzmann simulation. In this report, the phase-field lattice Boltzmann model is briefly explained, and some dendrite growth simulations using the model are introduced.
