Microstructures generated by phase field simulated Al-Si solidification

Liquid phase fraction resulting from phase field simulations of the microstructure evolution during solidification of an AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy used for premeability simulations. RVE: cube of 150 micrometers edge length, resolution 0.5 micrometer. Format: VTK packed with gzip. Solidification conditions: 240 W/ccm heat extraction rate "equiaxed": No temperature gradient, xyz-periodic "directional": Temperature gradient 5K/mm, xy-periodic
