Three-Dimensional CA-LBM Model of Silicon Facet Formation during Directional Solidification

A new 3D cellular automata-lattice Boltzmann method (CA-LBM) coupling model is proposed to simulate the formation of facet and facet dendrites in directional solidification. In this model, the CA method is used to simulate the crystal growth process and the LBM method is used to simulate the physica...
