A Non-Isothermal Phase-Field Crystal Model with Lattice Expansion: Analysis and Benchmarks

Non-isothermal pase-field crystal simulations with lattice expansion

Openly available Matlab simulation files used to produce the phase-field crystal and temperature results.

Files are named by the corresponding figures. Simulations can be started by runnning the Figure*.m files.

Figure1_2_3_dendrite

Dendritic solidification with heat flux and lattice expansion Parameter studies for figures 2 and 3 can be obtained by setting the respective parameter values in /simulation/Pre/Parameter/Pre_modelParameters

Figure4_openSystems

Results for solidification in open systems controlled by applied heat flux
