Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Wall-Equiaxed Crystal Density on the Number of Columnar Crystals and the Thickness of an Equiaxed Crystal Layer for Al-4.7%Cu Alloy Ingot Based on 3D LBM-CA Method

In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann–cellular automata (LBM-CA) model with dynamic and static grids was used to study the growth of three-dimensional (3D) multidendrites under directional solidification with random preferred angles. In the static grid, the temperature field, flow field, and solute f...
