Three-Dimensional Lattice Boltzmann Modeling of Dendritic Solidification under Forced and Natural Convection
A three-dimensional (3D) lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is developed to simulate the dendritic growth during solidification of Al-Cu alloys under forced and natural convection. The LB method is used to solve for solute diffusion and fluid flow. It is assumed that the dendritic growth is driven by the...
