We have developed a series of phase-field models allowing to simulate various aspects of strain-induced effects on alloy solidification. On the one hand, we include compositionally induced stresses in a phase-field model describing growth of dilute alloys. Special care is taken to obtain a viable thin-interface limit, i.e., we eliminate artificial effects of interface stretching, surface diffusion, and interface dissipation by an appropriate choice of phase-field functions and parameters. Simulations of directional solidification in a parameter range discussed by Spencer et al. [1] in terms of a linear stability analysis reveal oscillatory standing wave modes as the preferred dynamic state. On the other hand, after realizing that past models are flawed, we have created asymptotically correct phase-field models for the simulation of surface diffusion under stress, which may become important in solidification when micro-crack formation plays a role.
