Abstract

Since Ginzburg and Landau proposed the superconducting model in the 1950s, the method of computer-aided simulation of crystal growth has become more and more common. In this paper, the crystallization process of ice is studied by phase field method combined with crystallization process model and COMSOL software. The influence of different dimensionless latent heat values on crystallization is further simulated, and a conclusion is obtained. The dendrite structure is very sensitive to the change of dimensionless latent heat. With the increase of dimensionless latent heat value, the growth rate of dendrite tip is accelerated, the dendrite tendency is enhanced, and the characteristics of dendrite structure become more and more obvious in the process of crystal growth.
