Phase-field simulation of dendrite growth in the presence of lateral constraints

The effect of a sudden change in the crossing section on the microstructural evolution as well as solute and heat diffusions during solidification of the Ni-40.8% Cu alloy was investigated by implementing a non-isothermal phase-field model. Simulations with lateral constraints of different sizes wer...
