A Cellular Automaton Model with the Lower Mesh-Induced Anisotropy for Dendritic Solidification of Pure Substance

Article Preview

Abstract:

A modified cellular automaton model for describing the dendritic solidification of pure substance was developed. Instead of using the high mesh-induced anisotropy capture rules, such as Von Neumann’s and Moore’s method, a new capture rule---random zigzag method was developed, which greatly reduced the mesh-induced anisotropy in crystallographic orientation. The calculation method for the solid/liquid interface curvature was also improved. The effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on the dendritic growth behavior was analyzed.
