Boundary integral method for modeling of rapid dendritic growth — •Peter Galenko — Institut für Raumsimulation, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, D-51170 Köln
The boundary integral method (BLM) is well-established model
for prediction of the fractal and dendritic pattern formation
and is related to the models of the sharp interface [1]. In
the present report, this method for rapid dendritic
solidification from supercooled liquid phase in a binary
system is developed. In order to model the rapid
solidification, a physical description and mathematical
formulation is based on the model which takes into account
the deviation from local equilibrium at the interface and
in bulk phases [2-4]. A main attention in modeling is paid
to the examination of the influence of anisotropy energy on
the selection of the structure of a free-growing dendrite.
As it follows from the results obtained in the modeling,
with the decreasing of the anisotropy of surface energy
the transition from a smooth needle-like dendrite to a
branching dendrite occurs. As the anisotropy vanishes,
the dendrite has the oscillating tip velocity and the tip
of the dendrite tends to a splitting phenomenon. These
results obtained in the modeling confirm the outcomes of
the interfacial wave theory [5] in accordance with which
there is a critical number for anisotropy lower of which
the oscillated dendrite is predicted instead of the
steady-state smooth needle.
