Phase-field Simulations of Multi-component Solidification and Coarsening Based on Thermodynamic Datasets

by Sebastian Schulz

Book Overview

The utilization of thermodynamic and mobility data plays a major role in phase-field modeling. This work discusses different formulations for the thermodynamic quantities of a grand potential model along with practices to determine parameters from datasets. The framework is used to study solidification of Al-Si-Mg for a variation of composition, diffusivities and surface energy anisotropies. To verify the simulations, they are compared with solidification...
