Abstract

Using an advancement of a phase field model of multi-grain crystallization developed by Moelans et al., a system of governing equations describing the evolution of multiple crystals in rapidly solidifying samples is formulated. The dynamics of the moving interface is analysed, and an analytical solution in form of traveling wave is obtained for the phase field profile and its velocity.
